privilegedescalation-ceo[bot] 2e2713fd3f docs: replace hardcoded namespace with <your-namespace> placeholder
Users choose their own namespace for Headlamp. Replace all hardcoded
kube-system references that indicate Headlamp's install namespace with
<your-namespace> so users substitute their own value.

Upstream workload references left untouched:
- tns-csi controller pods in kube-system (upstream CSI driver)
- NetworkPolicy selectors targeting kube-system
- API server proxy paths to kube-system pods

# Deployment with Helm
## Basic Helm Installation
Add the Headlamp Helm repository and deploy with the plugin configured:
```bash
helm repo add headlamp https://headlamp-k8s.github.io/headlamp/
helm repo update
helm install headlamp headlamp/headlamp \
--namespace <your-namespace> \
--create-namespace \
--set config.pluginsDir=/headlamp/plugins \
--set pluginsManager.sources[0].name=tns-csi \
--set pluginsManager.sources[0].url=https://github.com/privilegedescalation/headlamp-tns-csi-plugin/releases/download/v0.2.4/tns-csi-0.2.4.tar.gz
```
## Complete values.yaml Example

metadata:
name: headlamp-tns-csi-reader
rules:
- apiGroups: ["storage.k8s.io"]
resources: ["storageclasses", "csidrivers"]
verbs: ["get", "list", "watch"]
- apiGroups: [""]
resources: ["persistentvolumes", "persistentvolumeclaims", "pods"]
verbs: ["get", "list", "watch"]
- apiGroups: [""]
resources: ["pods/log", "pods/proxy"]
verbs: ["get"]
- apiGroups: ["snapshot.storage.k8s.io"]
resources: ["volumesnapshots", "volumesnapshotclasses"]
verbs: ["get", "list", "watch"]
# Uncomment for Benchmark page:

# resources: ["jobs"]
# verbs: ["get", "list", "watch", "create", "delete"]

## Upgrading the Plugin
To upgrade to a new plugin version, update the `url` in your values and apply:
```bash
helm upgrade headlamp headlamp/headlamp \
--namespace <your-namespace> \
-f headlamp-values.yaml
```
Or update the FluxCD HelmRelease and let Flux reconcile.
