# Custom additional options for Broker Helm Chart installation

How to inject additional Snyk Broker options through environment variables using an override.yaml file with Helm

If you need to inject additional option(s) using environment variables, use the `override.yaml` value file to add any additional environment variable(s) you may need.

Adding the `--values override.yaml` will load those values into your deployment. For example:

```
helm install snyk-broker-chart snyk-broker/snyk-broker \
             --set scmType=github-com \
             --set brokerToken=<ENTER_BROKER_TOKEN> \
             --set scmToken=<ENTER_REPO_TOKEN> \
             --set brokerClientUrl=<ENTER_BROKER_CLIENT_URL>:<ENTER_BROKER_CLIENT_PORT> \
             --values override.yaml \
             -n snyk-broker --create-namespace
```

You can do the same inline without the override.yaml file if it is more convenient.

```
helm install snyk-broker-chart snyk-broker/snyk-broker \
             --set scmType=github-com \
             --set brokerToken=<ENTER_BROKER_TOKEN> \
             --set scmToken=<ENTER_REPO_TOKEN> \
             --set brokerClientUrl=<ENTER_BROKER_CLIENT_URL>:<ENTER_BROKER_CLIENT_PORT> \
             --set env[0].name=myEnvVarName \
             --set env[0].value=myEnvVarValue \
             --set env[1].name=myOtherEnvVarName \
             --set env[1].value=myOtherEnvVarValue \
             -n snyk-broker --create-namespace
```

You can add custom Kubernetes resources and objects to the chart by adding them to the values file.

Various combinations of Kubernetes options and objects are available at various levels of the specifications hierarchy, deployment, container, and pod-specific. These are listed in the [default `values.yaml` ](https://github.com/snyk/snyk-broker-helm/blob/a805f97235ba6b004df7a38c93ee94e399b699b7/charts/snyk-broker/values.yaml#L403)file as `extraObjects`, `extraVolumes`, `extraVolumeMounts`, and `extraPodSpecs`.

Be careful to use the right syntax and validate the rendered `yaml` using `helm template` command.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.snyk.io/platform-administration/snyk-broker/classic-broker/install-and-configure-snyk-broker/advanced-configuration-for-helm-chart-installation/custom-additional-options-for-broker-helm-chart-installation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
