Chatwoot is an open-source, self-hosted customer engagement suite. Chatwoot lets you view and manage your customer data, communicate with them irrespective of which medium they use, and re-engage them based on their profile.
For more info., visit site
The helm installation will create 3 “Persistent Volume Claims” for redis, rails and postgres. Setup up a default “Storage Class” (for automatic PV) or create 3 “Persistent Volumes” with the size of 8GB, before installing chatwoot. If the “Persistent Volume Claims” do not claim the “Persistent Volumes”, leave storageClassName blank (inside the PV .yaml files).
kubectl create ns chatwoot
