[@CookieMonsteeerrr]

y nice tutorial. nevertheless it would be nice to see for example two applications like postgres with django how to install and configure it. Moreover for me its hard to understand corelation between those files - is it with labels/name attributes or? Thats why example based on two apps showing how files are reference by what attributes would be priceless. Would be nice also to have statefullset included in such video.

Hi, yeah the process is quite the same for Helm 3 as well. The reason to update chart.yaml is to update the app/chart version that you specified in that file. That is what people will see when they lookup for information about your chart. It needs updating for every update you make.
