## Steps to Use a Helm Chart
### 1. Add a Helm Repository
Helm repositories contain collections of charts. You can add an existing repository using the following command:
```bash
helm repo add jellyfin https://jellyfin.github.io/jellyfin-helm
```
### 2. Install the Helm Chart
To install a chart, use the following command:
```bash
helm install my-jellyfin jellyfin/jellyfin
```
### 3. View the Installation
You can check the status of the release using:
```bash
helm status my-jellyfin
```
## Customizing the Chart
Helm charts come with default values, but you can customize them by using the --set flag or by providing a custom values.yaml file.
### 1. Using --set to Override Values
```bash
helm install my-jellyfin jellyfin/jellyfin --set key1=value1,key2=value2
```
### 2. Using a values.yaml File
You can create a custom values.yaml file and pass it to the install command:
```bash
helm install my-jellyfin jellyfin/jellyfin -f values.yaml
```

## Hardware acceleration
Out of the box the pod does not have the necessary permissions to enable hardware acceleration (HWA) in Jellyfin.
Adding the following Helm values should make it enable you to use hardware acceleration features.
Some settings may need to be tweaked depending on the type of device (Intel/AMD/NVIDIA/...) and your container runtime.
Please refer to the Jellyfin upstream documentation for more information about hardware acceleration:
```yaml
securityContext:
capabilities:
add:
- "SYS_ADMIN"
drop:
- "ALL"
privileged: false
extraVolumes:
- name: hwa
hostPath:
path: /dev/dri
extraVolumeMounts:
- name: hwa
mountPath: /dev/dri
```
## IPv6 Configuration
This chart supports IPv6 and dual-stack networking configurations out of the box. Health probes use httpGet by default for compatibility with both IPv4 and IPv6.
### IPv6-only Configuration
For IPv6-only clusters:
```yaml
service:
ipFamilyPolicy: SingleStack
ipFamilies:
- IPv6
```
### Dual-stack Configuration
For dual-stack clusters (both IPv4 and IPv6):
```yaml
service:
ipFamilyPolicy: PreferDualStack # or RequireDualStack
ipFamilies:
- IPv4
- IPv6 # First family in the list is the primary
```
