The installation of the BMO is painful

User Story

Can you provide a helm chart to install the BMO please?

The getting started guide is not really a guide, and the tool to generate the config requires underlying tools that are not listed anywhere (or at least I couldn't easily find them).

I had to reverse engineer the deployment/getting started process. Which is painful.

Can you just use helm? It is the most common tool to package Kubernetes deployments.

Hi, @ish-xyz ! I'm not long actively contributing to metal3, unfortunately. I'm sure one of the maintainers will be interested in your feedback.

@dhellmann whoops, sorry then!

Hi @ish-xyz , the community has discussed of adopting helm, but so far we still don't have enough incentives to do so. Would you mind attending our next community meeting and describe your viewpoint and use case there? If the community is persuaded that a helm chart is needed, I'm sure adding it will be easy.

Here's information about Metal3 community meeting: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1IkEIh-ffWY3DaNX3aFcAxGbttdEY_symo7WAGmzkWhU/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.w4ou76o3rp1v

I have added the needs info label because this is an issue that can only be accepted if the community agrees to it and someone is willing to maintain up to date helm charts.
