   Enter your username in the command.

   2

   Enter your password in the command.

   3

   Enter your email address in the command.

   The created pull secret is used to pull the Developer Hub images from the Red Hat Ecosystem.

3. Create a file named values.yaml using the following template:

   global:
     # TODO: Set your application domain name.
     host: <your Developer Hub domain name>
   
   
   route:
     enabled: false
   
   
   upstream:
     service:
       # NodePort is required for the ALB to route to the Service
       type: NodePort
   
   
     ingress:
       enabled: true
       annotations:
         kubernetes.io/ingress.class: alb
   
   
         alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/scheme: internet-facing
   
   
         # TODO: Using an ALB HTTPS Listener requires a certificate for your own domain. Fill in the ARN of your certificate, e.g.:
         alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/certificate-arn: arn:aws:acm:xxx:xxxx:certificate/xxxxxx
   
   
         alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/listen-ports: '[{"HTTP": 80}, {"HTTPS":443}]'
   
   
         alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/ssl-redirect: '443'
   
   
         # TODO: Set your application domain name.
         external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/hostname: <your rhdh domain name>
   
   
     backstage:
       image:
         pullSecrets:
         - rhdh-pull-secret
       podSecurityContext:
         # you can assign any random value as fsGroup
         fsGroup: 2000
     postgresql:
       image:
         pullSecrets:
         - rhdh-pull-secret
       primary:
         podSecurityContext:
           enabled: true
           # you can assign any random value as fsGroup
           fsGroup: 3000
     volumePermissions:
       enabled: true
