mongodb:
  architecture: standalone
  useStatefulSet: false
  auth:
    rootPassword: admin

helm template . -f values.yaml -f values_mine.yaml --name-template=mongodb-bitnami -n mongodb --debug > temp.yaml

# creates namespace
kubectl create ns mongodb

# deploys the chart on a cluster
helm upgrade --install mongodb-bitnami . -f values.yaml -f values_mine.yaml --namespace mongodb

# waits for the pods to be ready
kubectl wait pods -n mongodb -l app.kubernetes.io/instance=mongodb-bitnami --for condition=Ready --timeout=300s

# opens a tunnel to access the service
kubectl port-forward svc/mongodb-bitnami 27017:27017 -n mongodb

helm uninstall mongodb-bitnami -n mongodb
kubectl delete ns mongodb
