Add possibility to add extra manifests

[aschleifer]

Often databases need credentials for the application to connect to it which have to be provided to the database and to the application itself.

We in our company use vault for that so we need to specify a RandomSecret to create new credentials and a VaultSecret to translate this into an actual kubernetes Secret object.

If we could add these as plain yaml list to the helm chart and the chart just deploys them then it would make it much easier for us to integrate this chart into our setup.

As an example you could look at what the kube-prometheus-stack helm chart is doing:

• https://github.com/prometheus-community/helm-charts/blob/main/charts/kube-prometheus-stack/values.yaml#L5413-L5438
• https://github.com/prometheus-community/helm-charts/blob/main/charts/kube-prometheus-stack/templates/extra-objects.yaml

Hi, @aschleifer. I'm Dosu, and I'm helping the charts team manage their backlog and am marking this issue as stale.

Issue Summary:

• You requested adding support for including extra manifest YAML files in the Helm chart.
• The goal is to enable easier integration with systems like Vault for database credential management.
• You proposed allowing a plain YAML list of additional Kubernetes objects to be deployed alongside the chart.
• This feature would simplify credential management and deployment workflows.
• There has been no further activity or comments on this issue.

Next Steps:

• Please let me know if this feature request is still relevant to the latest version of the charts by commenting on this issue.
• If I do not hear back within 7 days, I will automatically close this issue.

Thank you for your understanding and contribution!
