TREK Helm Chart

This is a minimal Helm chart for deploying the TREK app.

Features

Deploys the TREK container
Exposes port 3000 via Service
Optional persistent storage for /app/data and /app/uploads
Configurable environment variables and secrets
Optional generic Ingress support
Health checks on /api/health

Helm Repository

A hosted Helm repository is available:

helm repo add trek https://mauriceboe.github.io/TREK
helm repo update
helm install trek trek/trek

Usage

Or install directly from the local chart:

helm install trek ./chart \
  --set ingress.enabled=true \
  --set ingress.hosts[0].host=yourdomain.com

See values.yaml for more options.

Notes

Ingress is off by default. Enable and configure hosts for your domain.
PVCs require a default StorageClass or specify one as needed.
JWT_SECRET is managed entirely by the server — auto-generated into the data PVC on first start and rotatable via the admin panel (Settings → Danger Zone). No Helm configuration needed.
ENCRYPTION_KEY encrypts stored secrets (API keys, MFA, SMTP, OIDC) at rest. Recommended: set via secretEnv.ENCRYPTION_KEY or existingSecret. If left empty, the server falls back automatically: existing installs use data/.jwt_secret (no action needed on upgrade); fresh installs auto-generate a key persisted to the data PVC.
If using ingress, you must manually keep env.ALLOWED_ORIGINS and ingress.hosts in sync to ensure CORS works correctly. The chart does not sync these automatically.
Set env.ALLOW_INTERNAL_NETWORK: "true" if Immich or other integrated services are hosted on a private/RFC-1918 address (e.g. a pod on the same cluster or a NAS on your LAN). Loopback (127.x) and link-local/metadata addresses (169.254.x) remain blocked regardless.
FORCE_HTTPS is optional. Set env.FORCE_HTTPS: "true" only when ingress (or another proxy) terminates TLS. It enables HTTPS redirects, HSTS, CSP upgrade-insecure-requests, and forces the session cookie secure flag. Requires TRUST_PROXY to be set.
Set env.TRUST_PROXY: "1" (or the number of proxy hops) when running behind ingress or a load balancer. Required for FORCE_HTTPS to detect the forwarded protocol correctly. In production it defaults to 1 automatically.
COOKIE_SECURE is auto-derived (on when NODE_ENV=production or FORCE_HTTPS=true). Set env.COOKIE_SECURE: "false" only during local testing without TLS. Not recommended for production.
Set env.OIDC_DISCOVERY_URL to override the auto-constructed OIDC discovery endpoint. Required for providers (e.g. Authentik) that expose it at a non-standard path.
