Hi FreeRADIUS Development Team,


First, thank you for all the hard work you’ve done on FreeRADIUS. It’s a
critical part of our authentication infrastructure, and we rely on its
flexibility and reliability every day.


We’re moving more of our services to Kubernetes, and we’d love to include
FreeRADIUS in this effort. Deploying it on Kubernetes would allow us to:

• *Scale* FreeRADIUS easily as demand grows.

• *Increase reliability* using Kubernetes features like auto-recovery.

• *Simplify deployments* with tools like Helm.


*Existing Unofficial Helm Chart*

We are aware that an unofficial Helm chart for FreeRADIUS exists, but it is
no longer maintained. While it has been helpful, having an *officially
supported chart* would ensure best practices are followed and would provide
the community with a reliable solution.


*Our Request*

Would it be possible for the FreeRADIUS team to create and maintain an
official Helm chart? An official chart would help many users deploy
FreeRADIUS on Kubernetes more easily and align with modern deployment
practices.


*How We Can Help*

We’d be happy to contribute to this effort by:

• Testing the chart and providing feedback.

• Helping with documentation or maintenance if needed.


We believe this would make FreeRADIUS even more accessible to organizations
moving to Kubernetes. Let us know if this is something you’d consider, or
if there’s already work happening in this area.


Thanks in advance for your time and consideration!


Best regards,
Luca
