The only way I am running into is using curl command as per the docs: https://docs.spring.io/spring-cloud-dataflow/docs/2.7.1/reference/htmlsingle/#resources-app-registry-post
This uses a curl command to hit the api. Which I can develop a script for, but I would like to set this up within the helm charts so that these tasks and applications are created when the helm chart is deployed. Any ideas?
Please check Spring Cloud Data Flow, Helm Installation, Register prebuilt applications, it says:
Applications can be registered individually using the app register functionality or as a group using the app import functionality.
So, I guess you always need to start the app using Helm Chart and only later register the applications using app or REST Endpoint.
