KubeSearch - Homelab Helm Configuration Research

Search kubesearch.dev to find real-world Helm configurations from other homelab repositories.

Workflow

Step 1 — Find chart: WebFetch https://kubesearch.dev/?search=<chart-name> → list matching releases with registry paths.

Step 2 — Get repository links: Convert registry path to URL format (replace / with -), then WebFetch https://kubesearch.dev/hr/<url-path> → list repositories with direct GitHub links to HelmRelease files.

Examples of the URL conversion:

• ghcr.io/grafana-helm-charts/grafana → ghcr.io-grafana-helm-charts-grafana
• charts.longhorn.io/longhorn → charts.longhorn.io-longhorn

Step 3 — Fetch configs: Convert GitHub blob URLs to raw URLs, then fetch 3-5 in parallel:

• Blob: github.com/<owner>/<repo>/blob/<branch>/<path>
• Raw: raw.githubusercontent.com/<owner>/<repo>/<branch>/<path>

Selection criteria: recent activity (within 6 months), higher star count, similar chart version, similar infrastructure goals (bare-metal, GitOps, Talos).
