Any news on this one? This looks promising...

Hi @mittal-ishaan. Is there a conversation or specific problem this is trying to solve? It looks like it is several backwards incompatible changes and doesn't provide any functionality that can't already be achieved using the existing:
opencost.ui.extraVolumeMounts

Appears like its an attempt to maybe simplify configuration for openshift clusters?

Hi @toscott,

The primary goal here is to simplify the installation process for OpenCost in OpenShift environments. Currently, setting up OpenCost in OpenShift is challenging, as users need to sift through various issues and discussions to find the necessary volume mounts, as detailed in this issue. By including these configurations directly in the Helm chart, I hope to make the installation process more straightforward for OpenShift users. Additionally, I want to centralize and gate other OpenShift-specific configurations.

What are your thoughts?

Sorry for the delay.

I like the idea of simplifying configuration for new users. It does make me a little nervous to break backward compatibility though.
With your current changes, I would recommend a major version bump for the chart so anyone who has auto minor/patch version updates enabled doesn't get surprised with something breaking.

What do you think about bumping the chart to 2.0.0 and calling it good? Also glad to see you were added as a contributor! Welcome!
