A simplified way of working with Helm.

## Local Testing

Prerequisites: `helm` and `kubectl` binaries installed and operational.

Until we make our repo public, we have to use a custom way to install the plugin.

There is a need to build binary for plugin to function, run:

```shell
go build -o bin/dashboard .
```

To install, checkout the source code and run from source dir:

```shell
helm plugin install .
```

Local install of plugin just creates a symlink, so making the changes and rebuilding the binary would not require to
reinstall a plugin.

To use the plugin, run in your terminal:

```shell
helm dashboard
```

Then, use the web UI.

## Uninstalling

To uninstall, run:

```shell
helm plugin uninstall dashboard
```

## Support Channels

We have two main channels for supporting the Helm Dashboard users: [Slack community](#TODO) for general conversations
and [GitHub issues](https://github.com/komodorio/helm-dashboard/issues) for real bugs.

## Roadmap

### First Public Version

- Helm Plugin Packaging
- CLI launcher
- Web Server with REST API
- Listing the installed applications
- View k8s resources created by the application (describe, status)
- Viewing revision history for application
- View manifest diffs between revisions, also changelogs etc
- Analytics reporting (telemetry)
- Rollback to a revision
- Check for repo updates & upgrade flow
- Uninstalling the app completely
- Switch clusters
- Show manifest/describe upon clicking on resource

### Further Ideas
- Have cleaner idea on the web API structure
- Recognise & show ArgoCD-originating charts/objects, those `helm ls` does not show
- Recognise the revisions that are rollbacks by their description and mark in timeline

#### Topic "Validating Manifests"

- Validate manifests before deploy and get better errors
- See if we can build in Chechov or Validkube validation

#### Iteration "Value Setting"

- Setting parameter values and installing
- Reconfiguring the application

#### Iteration "Repo View"

- Browsing repositories
- Adding new repository
- Installing new app from repo
