If you are new to Kubernetes, start with the official Kubernetes learning resources first. Then review the Prerequisites guide to check your cluster, tools, and setup.
Installation paths
| Path | Use when | Start here |
|---|---|---|
| Helm | You want the standard chart-based installation path for Pangolin or Sites (Newt). | Helm Quick-Start |
| Kustomize | You want manifest overlays, for example for environment-specific configuration, patches, or rendered manifests that can be reviewed before applying. | Kustomize Quick-Start |
| Argo CD | You already use Argo CD and want to deploy Pangolin or Sites (Newt) through a Kubernetes-native GitOps workflow. | Argo CD Guide |
| Flux | You already use Flux and want to manage Pangolin or Sites (Newt) through HelmRelease or Kustomization resources. | Flux Guide |
| Helmfile | You want to manage multiple related Helm releases as one stack. | Helmfile Guide |
Recommended starting point
For most Kubernetes deployments, start with Helm. Use the GitOps guides only if Argo CD or Flux is already part of your deployment workflow.
Kustomize and Helmfile are useful when you need more control over manifests, overlays, or multiple coordinated releases.
