This guide will show you how to quickly start up a customized instance of RHDH using Helm with thequick-start-rhdh.sh script.
This script simplifies and automates the installation process of Helm charts on OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) clusters.
User should be logged into a cluster to use this script. Please provide your secret file in the form of 'rhdh-secrets.local.yaml' in the scripts/rhdh-openshift-setup/auth directory.
This script comes with a few example kubernetes resources to be deployed alongside the helm chart for configurations, and testing backstage plugins that rely on kubernetes resources such as the topology, tekton, and kubernetes plugins.
