Generate a values file by running:

Change the following properties in the values file.

Key	Change	Description
`nginx-ingress.controller.externalIPs`	`<RUNAI_IP_ADDRESS>`	IP address allocated for Run:AI.
`backend.https`	replace `key` and `crt` with public and private keys for `runai.<company-name>`
`postgresql.persistence`	PostgreSQL permanent storage via a Persistent Volume.	You can either use `storageClassName` to create a PV automatically or set `nfs.server` and `nfs.path` to provide the network file storage for the PV. The folder in the path should be pre-created and have full access rights
`thanos.receive.persistence`	Permanent storage for Run:AI metrics	See Postresql persistence above. Can use the same location

Optional:
`backend.initTenant.promProxy` and `grafana.datasources.datasources.yaml.datasources.url`	When using an existing Promethues service, replace this URL with the URL of the existing Prometheus service (obtain by running `kubectl get svc` on the Prometheus namespace)	Internal URL to Promethues server
`pspEnabled`	`<true/false>`	Set to `true` if using PodSecurityPolicy
`nginx-ingress.podSecurityPolicy`	Set to `true` if using PodSecurityPolicy
`backend.initTenant.admin`	Change password for admin@run.ai	This user is the master Backend administrator
