This adapter chart runs the public ComfyUI container image and keeps model, input, output, and user data in one PVC. It avoids the image's boot-time custom node installation path by starting ComfyUI directly. The image tag and tested ComfyUI release are recorded in Chart.yaml.

Install the public chart:

helm repo add brunner.ninja https://brunner.ninja/charts
helm repo update brunner.ninja
helm upgrade --install comfyui brunner.ninja/comfyui \
  --namespace comfyui --create-namespace --wait --timeout 10m

Set persistence.existingClaim to reuse a pre-existing model/data volume. For another cluster, leave it empty and configure persistence.size and persistence.storageClass. args, node placement, and resource sizing can be overridden for the available CPU/GPU hardware. The chart creates an internal Service on port 8188; it does not expose the editor publicly by default.

This repository owns the portable Deployment, probes, Service, data-directory initialization, and optional PVC. A consuming GitOps repository owns only its selected chart version and cluster values. The homelab instance is managed by the separate homelab-gitops Application comfyui in namespace ollama.

Validation and releases

Run ./test.sh to lint and render the chart and verify that its Service, selectors, ports, PVC, mounts, and probes fit together.

Git tags follow the application release (v0.8.2 for ComfyUI 0.8.2). CI uses git describe --tags --long for immutable package versions; later chart-only commits retain their count and Git hash. The public chart repository is brunner.ninja/charts. Gitea Actions needs PACKAGE_USERNAME, PACKAGE_TOKEN, and GITOPS_TOKEN; the workflow has no Kubernetes credentials.
