Summary

  • New page: Helm Chart reference — deployment planning decisions (storage/workload type, MongoDB, Redis, PostgreSQL), community edition config, and values reference link
  • New page: MongoDB Kubernetes Operator — fresh install walkthrough, configuration (password management, production sizing, ArgoCD), migration from Bitnami subchart, uninstall with finalizer handling, troubleshooting
  • Reworked Kubernetes install guide — rewritten intro, specific resource requirements, MongoDB Operator as default, ingress in values.yaml, pinned image version, streamlined next steps

Remaining work

  • Rework the expose/ingress page — rename from "Expose K8s to Internet" to focus on TLS/cert-manager configuration, replace dead ingress-nginx references
  • Add ArgoCD ignoreDifferences section, visible in nav
  • Revisit sidebar IA / menu structure
  • Review MongoDB Kubernetes Operator page content
  • Add uninstall section to the Helm Chart reference page

Test plan

  • Verify new pages render at /getting-started/setup/instance-configuration/helm-chart and /getting-started/setup/instance-configuration/mongodb-kubernetes-operator
  • Verify both appear in sidebar under Reference
  • Verify Kubernetes install page intro, requirements, install steps, and next steps cards
  • Check all internal links resolve (no broken links)
  • Review values.yaml example in install guide against current chart defaults

…bernetes install page

Add two new documentation pages and significantly rework the Kubernetes
installation guide to reflect current best practices.

New pages:
- Helm Chart reference covering deployment planning decisions (storage,
  workload type, MongoDB, Redis, PostgreSQL) and community edition config
- MongoDB Kubernetes Operator guide with install, configuration, migration
  from Bitnami, and troubleshooting

Kubernetes install guide changes:
- Rewrite intro with deployment planning link and HA guidance
- Replace vague system requirements with specific resource breakdown
- Remove outdated video embed
- Add MongoDB Operator and ingress config to default values.yaml
- Pin image version instead of using latest tag
- Remove separate Community edition section (moved to Helm Chart page)
- Rename "Post-installation configuration" to "Next steps"
- Add TLS and uninstall cards to next steps

Replace the outdated "Expose K8s to Internet" page with a focused TLS
guide. Ingress setup moved into the install guide; this page now covers
TLS termination options: wildcard certs, cert-manager, bring your own,
and controller-managed TLS.

Adds a warning against using APPSMITH_CUSTOM_DOMAIN on Kubernetes and
removes references to the dead ingress.selfSigned option.
