Welcome! Our community focuses on helping others and making CoreDNS the best it can be. We gladly accept contributions and encourage you to get involved!
Before opening a new issue please search the issue list to ensure the issue hasn't been already reported.
If not, open an issue and answer the questions so we can understand and reproduce the problematic behavior.
Please be aware that CoreDNS can be extremely flexible and offered as an add-on by many distros. While we strive to keep an open mind about supporting as many use cases as possible, we want to focus on things that fit this chart's use cases and not on a specific vendor installation or offering of CoreDNS.
Submit minor improvements or changes any time. For larger changes please raise an issue beforehand so we can coordinate the work and make sure the change is aligned with the chart's purpose.
When submitting a pull request, please be mindful of the following:
We follow the semver standard for versioning.
Please ensure chart version changes adhere to semantic versioning standards:
- Major: Large chart rewrites, major non-backwards compatible or destructive changes
- Minor: New chart functionality (sidecars), major application updates or minor non-backwards compatible changes
- Patch: App version patch updates, backwards compatible optional chart features
As the chart is also published on Artifact Hub, we require a changelog per new chart release. Changes on a chart must be documented in a chart specific changelog in the Chart.yaml
Annotation Section.
A new artifacthub.io/changes
needs to be written covering only the changes since the previous release. Each change requires a new bullet point following the pattern. See more information Artifact Hub annotations in Helm Chart.yaml file.
