Inheritance

You can base your project or product on another product in Flinkwerk Marketplace. For example, if you want to create a WordPress application, configure the following in your Flinkwerk project configuration:

.flinkwerk/config.yml
from:
  type: app
  sku: their-org/their-app:5.*

Your custom code will be deployed automatically through Flinkwerk without the need to define a Dockerfile or Helm charts, because they are already included in the base product.

Besides app as the context, as shown in the previous example, you could specify helm instead, as outlined here:

.flinkwerk/project.yaml
from:
  type: helm
  sku: their-org/their-chart
  repository: https://charts.their-org.com/their-org
  version: 12.1.*
note

When inheriting from Helm charts, the version attribute denotes the chart version, not the application version.

Inheritance can be nested. This means that your project can inherit from an application which inherits from another application, and so on. Dependencies defined by the base product will be deployed along with your project.
