Configuring Posit Connect with Recommended Settings

This example deploys Posit Connect with the recommended application configuration.

These settings are recommend for most deployments and are described below:

• Set replicas > 1 to deploy Connect load balanced across multiple pods
• Set a default Posit Package Manager CRAN URL
• Set a default Posit Package Manager PyPI URL
• Enable Quarto content

To use this example you will need:

• a license file or key
• a ReadWriteMany POSIX compliant storage class for sharedStorage
• a PostgreSQL database.

replicas: 2 # TODO: Adjust the amount depending on your requirements

# Using a license file with the helm chart:

# If you would like to use a license key see this documentation:
# https://github.com/rstudio/helm/tree/main/charts/rstudio-connect#license-key
