+description: A Helm chart for scheduling cron jobs
+
+# A chart can be either an 'application' or a 'library' chart.
+#
+# Application charts are a collection of templates that can be packaged into versioned archives
+# to be deployed.
+#
+# Library charts provide useful utilities or functions for the chart developer. They're included as
+# a dependency of application charts to inject those utilities and functions into the rendering
+# pipeline. Library charts do not define any templates and therefore cannot be deployed.
+type: application
+
+# This is the chart version. This version number should be incremented each time you make changes
+# to the chart and its templates, including the app version.
+# Versions are expected to follow Semantic Versioning (https://semver.org/)
+version: 1.0.0
+
+# This is the version number of the application being deployed. This version number should be
+# incremented each time you make changes to the application. Versions are not expected to
+# follow Semantic Versioning. They should reflect the version the application is using.
+# It is recommended to use it with quotes.

+# Cron-chart
+
+A simple chart to deploy a cronJob runner mounting secrets
+
+## Installing the Chart
+
+To install the chart with the release name `my-release`:
+
+```bash
+$ helm install my-release cron_chart
+```
+
+The command deploys a cron chart on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. The [Parameters](#parameters) section lists the parameters that can be configured during installation.
+
+> **Tip**: List all releases using `helm list`
+
+## Uninstalling the Chart
+
+To uninstall/delete the `my-release` deployment:
+
+```bash
+$ helm delete my-release
+```
+
+The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.
+
+## Parameters
+
+The following table lists the configurable parameters of the chart and their default values.
+
+### Common parameters
