Custom theme for Redmine

This tutorial explains installing some themes for Redmine.

Chart deploy configuration

Add ingress with codeserver addon.
Add additional themes PVC persistence with mountPath: "/usr/src/redmine/themes" Since Redmine v6 location is changed to ./redmine/themes instead of /redmine/public/themes.
Optional add plugins PVC persistence with mountPath: "/usr/src/redmine/plugins" This is the folder where you need to unzip your plugins if you want to use some.

Example deployment:

ingress:
  main:
    enabled: true
    hosts:
      - host: redmine.${BASE_DOMAIN}
    integrations:
      traefik:
        enabled: true
      certManager:
        enabled: true
        certificateIssuer: cloudflare

persistence:
  themes:
    enabled: true
    mountPath: "/usr/src/redmine/themes"
  plugins:
    enabled: true
    mountPath: "/usr/src/redmine/plugins"

addons:
  codeserver:
    enabled: true
    ingress:
      enabled: true
      hosts:
        - host: cs-redmine.${BASE_DOMAIN}
      integrations:
        certManager:
          enabled: true
          certificateIssuer: cloudflare
        traefik:
          enabled: true
