[thanos] How to implement authentication

[amrap030]

Hello,

I would like to implement basic authentication for thanos. When I look at the docs, it seems that it is possible to create a configuration file and add it via the flag --http.config (https://thanos.io/tip/operating/https.md/), but I am not sure how to do this in the helm chart. Is this possible?

@amrap030 you can't currently do this as the Thanos components don't currently have extraVolumes & extraVolumeMounts values. I can add these inputs to the chart if you'd like, at which point you'd need to create the ConfigMap outside the chart and pass it into the relevant component via the extraVolumes & extraVolumeMounts values?

Volume mounts would also be good for configuring caching with redis or memcache, thanks!

@onedr0p that's a good point, let me take a look at adding additional volume support.
