Re: Move stable/jenkins kubernetes chart to jenkinci GitHub org

[Gavin Mogan]

We've been fighting with the helm chart in #jenkins-infra all weekend.

Its a horrendous mess full of hacks by people who barely understand jenkins let alone k8s and helm.

Like for example, all plugins are downloaded every time, and thrown in a saved PVC, but never retrieved from there.

They are also saved into the jenkins ref directory, which is copied without overwriting into your install. Which means if it downloads a newer version of a plugin, it won't overwrite it.

I think it's worth making an official helm chart, but I don't think we should base it on the "helm/stable" one, maybe just take some of the useful features.

Based on repositories like https://github.com/jenkinsci/docker and
https://github.com/jenkinsci/kubernetes-operator I'd imagine that
jenkinsci is the perfect organization for this!

I've seen https://www.jenkins.io/doc/developer/publishing/requesting-hosting/, but hosting a helm chart is a bit different than a Jenkins plugin. Also with the recent discussion about forked repositories in GitHub I am not sure if that's still the desired process or if it would be easier to just move a repository to the new org.
