Post install automation

[rohitrsh]

Hi,

We have recently deployed vault on Kubernetes; the requirement was to setup end to end vault using helm and integrate with the LDAP backend.

Current, vault helm does not support any post-installation tasks. I have customised it the chart and added a post-installation script. Which is doing the following tasks for me

• Checking vault is up and running.
• Initialising the vault.
• Unsealing the Vault
• Enabling the LDAP auth backend
• Writing the LDAP config.

All the above values can be enabled/disabled using values.yaml.

Let me know if you are planning to have such kind of solution in the chart. Would be happy to submit the PR

Thank You
Rohit Sharma
