To set custom values file for your mission-control helm chart installation to override existing values in mission-control-chart.

values.yaml
global:
  ui:
    host: "mission-control-ui.local" # hostname

    annotations:
      kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
      kubernetes.io/tls-acme: "true"

See mission-control-chart/values.yaml or helm show values flanksource/mission-control for a full list of configuration options

SMTP​

An SMTP server is required for sending notifications, user invites and password resets.

The format of connection_uri is smtp://hostname:port

values.yaml
kratos:
  kratos:
    config:
      courier:
        smtp:
          connection_uri: # smtp://localhost:25
          from_address: noreply@
          from_name: Mission Control
          headers: {} # These headers will be passed in the SMTP conversation -- e.g. when using the AWS SES SMTP interface for cross-account sending.
          local_name: #Identifier used in the SMTP HELO/EHLO command. Some SMTP relays require a unique identifier.

Kratos also supports HTTP Webhooks for sending emails.
