Custom nautobot_config.py

To replace the entire nautobot_config.py configuration file with a custom file use the nautobot.config value. For example, if your custom nautobot_config.py file is located at ./path/to/nautobot_config.py with other helm values in ./my_values.yaml you can install the chart using:

helm install nautobot nautobot/nautobot \
  -f ./my_values.yaml \
  --set-file nautobot.config=./path/to/nautobot_config.py

This will set the inline value nautobot.config.

In some scenarios, you want to have your nautobot_config.py stored in a ConfigMap. In those cases you can set the nautobot.configCM parameter, where you specify the name of the ConfigMap. Please note that the ConfigMap must have the key nautobot_config.py where the configuration is stored.

Use the following commands:

kubectl create configmap nautobot-config-custom \
  --from-file=nautobot_config.py=./path/to/nautobot_config.py

helm install nautobot nautobot/nautobot \
  -f ./my_values.yaml \
  --set nautobot.configCM=nautobot-config-custom

Note, that nautobot.config takes precedence over nautobot.configCM.
