I created this simplified helm chart for self-hosting invidious in a container on k3s based on the excellent upstream official helm chart. Complete the steps below to deploy this chart.
# 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"
