+
+External secret management for Kubernetes
+
+## TL;DR
+```bash
+helm repo add external-secrets https://external-secrets.github.io/external-secrets
+helm install external-secrets/external-secrets
+```
+
+## Installing the Chart
+To install the chart with the release name `external-secrets`:
+```bash
+helm install external-secrets external-secrets/external-secrets
+```
+
+### Custom Resources
+By default, the chart will install external-secrets CRDs, this can be controlled with `installCRDs` value.
+
+## Uninstalling the Chart
+To uninstall the `external-secrets` deployment:
+```bash
+helm uninstall external-secrets
+```
+The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.
+
+## Configuration
+Read through the external-secrets [values.yaml](https://github.com/external-secrets/external-secrets/blob/master/deploy/charts/external-secrets/values.yaml)
+file. It has several commented out suggested values.
+
+## Values
+
+| Key | Type | Default | Description |
+|-----|------|---------|-------------|
+| affinity | object | `{}` |  |
+| extraArgs | object | `{}` |  |
+| extraEnv | list | `[]` |  |
+| fullnameOverride | string | `""` |  |
+| image.pullPolicy | string | `"IfNotPresent"` |  |
+| image.repository | string | `"ghcr.io/external-secrets/external-secrets"` |  |
+| image.tag | string | `""` | The image tag to use. The default is the chart appVersion. |
+| imagePullSecrets | list | `[]` |  |
+| installCRDs | bool | `true` | If set, install and upgrade CRDs through helm chart. |
+| leaderElect | bool | `true` | If true, external-secrets will perform leader election between instances to ensure no more than one instance of external-secrets operates at a time. |
+| nameOverride | string | `""` |  |
+| nodeSelector | object | `{}` |  |
+| podAnnotations | object | `{}` |  |
+| podLabels | object | `{}` |  |
+| podSecurityContext | object | `{}` |  |
+| prometheus.enabled | bool | `false` | Specifies whether to expose Service resource for collecting Prometheus metrics |
+| prometheus.service.port | int | `8080` |  |
+| rbac.create | bool | `true` | Specifies whether role and rolebinding resources should be created. |
+| replicaCount | int | `1` |  |
+| resources | object | `{}` |  |
+| securityContext | object | `{}` |  |
+| serviceAccount.annotations | object | `{}` | Annotations to add to the service account. |
+| serviceAccount.create | bool | `true` | Specifies whether a service account should be created. |
+| serviceAccount.name | string | `""` | The name of the service account to use. If not set and create is true, a name is generated using the fullname template. |
