### Description

I am trying to install weaviate as `deployment` in our existing helm-chart .  
Previously I was able to set it up using docker-compose and it worked fine.  
However I want to integrate weaviate into our existing kube cluster, within same helm-chart.

I see the documentation on weaviate for kubernetes as stand-alone helm-chart deployment, and could find information to support otherwise. Here is my deployment chat. Appreciate any help with this.

We already have a weaviate-deployment running on v3 client.I am trying to migrate to v4 and so testing out a deployment with different HTTP and GRPC ports

HI! We do have an official helm chart:

> **[GitHub - weaviate/weaviate-helm: Helm charts to deploy Weaviate to k8s](https://github.com/weaviate/weaviate-helm)**
>
> Helm charts to deploy Weaviate to k8s

Maybe that can help you on customizing it?

It worked with creating a separate docker-entrypoint instead of adding `args` and `command` in the chart itself to provide custom-configs. Thanks much
