{{- /* NOTES.txt — printed after every `helm install` or `helm upgrade`. Keep this short and action-oriented. Users land here and decide what to do next. */ -}} Thank you for installing {{ .Chart.Name }} ({{ .Chart.Name }}-{{ .Chart.Version }}, app {{ .Chart.AppVersion }}). Your release is named {{ .Release.Name }} in namespace {{ .Release.Namespace }}. 1. Watch the rollout finish: kubectl --namespace {{ .Release.Namespace }} rollout status deployment/{{ include "sim.fullname" . }}-app {{- if .Values.realtime.enabled }} kubectl --namespace {{ .Release.Namespace }} rollout status deployment/{{ include "sim.fullname" . }}-realtime {{- end }} {{- if .Values.copilot.enabled }} kubectl --namespace {{ .Release.Namespace }} rollout status deployment/{{ include "sim.fullname" . }}-copilot {{- end }} {{- if .Values.pii.enabled }} kubectl --namespace {{ .Release.Namespace }} rollout status deployment/{{ include "sim.fullname" . }}-pii {{- end }} 2. Reach the application: {{- if and .Values.ingress.enabled .Values.ingress.app.host }} Sim is exposed at: {{- if .Values.ingress.tls.enabled }} https://{{ .Values.ingress.app.host }} {{- else }} http://{{ .Values.ingress.app.host }} {{- end }} If DNS is not yet wired up, point your hostname at the ingress controller's external IP/LoadBalancer. {{- else }} Ingress is disabled. Use port-forward to reach the app locally: kubectl --namespace {{ .Release.Namespace }} port-forward svc/{{ include "sim.fullname" . }}-app {{ .Values.app.service.port | default 3000 }}:{{ .Values.app.service.port | default 3000 }} Then open http://localhost:{{ .Values.app.service.port | default 3000 }} To expose Sim on the public internet, enable `ingress.enabled=true` and set `ingress.app.host`. See examples/values-production.yaml. {{- end }} 3. Required secrets: Sim requires three application secrets and a Postgres password to start. {{- if .Values.externalSecrets.enabled }} Using External Secrets Operator. Verify the ExternalSecret has synced: kubectl --namespace {{ .Release.Namespace }} get externalsecret kubectl --namespace {{ .Release.Namespace }} get secret {{ include "sim.fullname" . }}-app-secrets {{- else if .Values.app.secrets.existingSecret.enabled }} Using existing Kubernetes Secret: {{ .Values.app.secrets.existingSecret.name }} {{- else if or (eq (default "" .Values.app.env.BETTER_AUTH_SECRET) "") (eq (default "" .Values.app.env.ENCRYPTION_KEY) "") (eq (default "" .Values.app.env.INTERNAL_API_SECRET) "") }} WARNING: one or more required secrets is empty. The pods will fail to start until these are set. Generate values with: openssl rand -hex 32 # BETTER_AUTH_SECRET, ENCRYPTION_KEY, INTERNAL_API_SECRET, CRON_SECRET openssl rand -hex 32 # API_ENCRYPTION_KEY (must be 64 hex chars) Then pass them on `helm upgrade --set app.env.BETTER_AUTH_SECRET=...` or provision an existing Kubernetes Secret and set `app.secrets.existingSecret.enabled=true`. {{- else }} Secrets are set inline. For production, prefer pre-existing Kubernetes Secrets or External Secrets Operator — see examples/values-existing-secret.yaml and examples/values-external-secrets.yaml. {{- end }} 4. Useful commands: # Tail app logs kubectl --namespace {{ .Release.Namespace }} logs -f deployment/{{ include "sim.fullname" . }}-app # Show the rendered values helm get values {{ .Release.Name }} --namespace {{ .Release.Namespace }} # Upgrade after changing values helm upgrade {{ .Release.Name }} ./helm/sim --namespace {{ .Release.Namespace }} -f your-values.yaml 5. Upgrade notes (read before upgrading from a chart version released before this one): * externalSecrets.apiVersion default is "v1beta1" (was "v1"). v1beta1 is supported by every ESO release from v0.7+ through current. If you're on ESO v0.17+ and want the graduated v1 API, set externalSecrets.apiVersion: "v1". * networkPolicy.egress remains a list of custom egress rules (unchanged). Cloud-metadata CIDR blocking is now configured via networkPolicy.egressExceptCidrs (defaults to AWS/GCP/Azure IMDS + ECS task metadata). 6.
