I created this simplified helm chart for self-hosting invidious in a container on ~k3s~ based on the excellent upstream [[https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/tree/master/kubernetes][official helm chart]]. Complete the steps below to deploy this chart.

#+NAME: Deploy invidious via helm
#+begin_src tmate
# Ensure invidious namespace exists
sudo kubectl create namespace jamma-invidious

# Create directories if they don't already exist
mkdir --parent "/home/${USER}/Services/invidious"

# Clone charts repository
cd "/home/${USER}/Services/invidious" && git clone https://invidious.jamma.life/jmhbnz/charts.git

# Ensure the repository is up to date
cd charts/invidious && git pull

# Install the chart
helm upgrade --install -n jamma-invidious jamma-invidious . \
    --set "ingress.hosts[0].host=invidious.jamma.dev" \
    --set "ingress.hosts[0].paths[0].path=/" \
    --set "ingress.hosts[0].paths[0].pathType=Prefix" \
    --set "ingress.tls[0].hosts[0]=invidious.jamma.dev" \
    --set "ingress.tls[0].secretName=tls-jamma-invidious"
