Helm

This chart mostly preconfigured (for PoC purpose), like password, token, influxdb2 pv/pvc, etc already has a value. Check it here: value.yaml

So you can get ideas from it or use it as is

helm upgrade -i        \
  glances-k8s-stack .  \
  --namespace gks      \
  --create-namespace

Glances client without docker

pip3 install glances influxdb_client

# Add to .local/bin to PATH
# echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/home/'$USER'/.local/bin' >> .bashrc
# OR
