This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
This is the Grafana Community Helm Charts repository — a collection of Helm charts for Grafana ecosystem components. Charts are published to both a Helm repository (grafana-community) and as OCI artifacts on ghcr.io.
All charts live under charts/ with a subfolder for each chart. The subfolder names must match the chart name as described in the Chart.yaml file .name.
Each chart follows standard Helm structure (Chart.yaml, values.yaml, templates/). Some charts will organize components into subdirectories (e.g., templates/compactor/, templates/ingester/).
Pull Requests against this repository require that all charts which implement helm-unittests(https://github.com/norwoodj/helm-docs) must pass all of their unittests. This can be done via a single command run from the repository root:
make helm-unittestPull Requests against this repository require that all charts which implement helm-docs(https://github.com/norwoodj/helm-docs) must re-generate their README.md files after modifying values.yaml or README.gotmpl. This can be done via a single command run from the repository root:
make helm-docs- One chart per PR: CI enforces that PRs only change a single chart.
- PR title format: Must start with
[chart-name](e.g.,[grafana] Add new feature). - Version bumps: Every chart change (excluding files listed in
.helmignore) requires a semver version bump inChart.yaml. Major bumps for breaking changes. - DCO sign-off: Commits must include
Signed-off-byline (git commit -s). - Squash merge only: The repo only allows squash merges.
- CODEOWNERS/MAINTAINERS: Auto-generated from
Chart.yamlmaintainer entries byscripts/check-codeowners.shandscripts/check-maintainers.sh. Do not edit.github/CODEOWNERSorMAINTAINERS.mddirectly. - Minimum Kubernetes version: Charts target
^1.25.0-0(kubeVersioninChart.yaml).
Renovate manages automated dependency updates. Charts with subchart dependencies (e.g., tempo-distributed depends on minio, grafana-agent-operator, rollout-operator) declare them in Chart.yaml. Dependency repos used in CI/release:
bitnami, grafana, grafana-community, prometheus-community, minio
