im getting this error when im installing the chart
"parse error at (clientmodule/templates/deployment.yaml:51): unexpected EOF"
also i want to pass that customer id to the default command in the container , thanks for the help :)

Answer 1

Ok , so i found a solution to to why helm is only creating a deployment for my last item in the list , helm uses "---" as a seprator between the specification of your yaml. so now my template looks like this and it works :)
{{ range .Values.customer.id }}
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: "clientmodule-customer-{{ . }}"
labels:
{{- include "clientmodule.labels" $ | nindent 4 }}
customer: "{{ . }}"
spec:
{{- if not $.Values.autoscaling.enabled }}
replicas: {{ $.Values.replicaCount }}
{{- end }}
selector:
matchLabels:
{{- include "clientmodule.selectorLabels" $ | nindent 6 }}
template:
metadata:
{{- with $.Values.podAnnotations }}
annotations:
{{- toYaml . | nindent 8 }}
{{- end }}
labels:
{{- include "clientmodule.selectorLabels" $ | nindent 8 }}
spec:
{{- with $.Values.imagePullSecrets }}
imagePullSecrets:
{{- toYaml . | nindent 8 }}
{{- end }}
serviceAccountName: {{ include "clientmodule.serviceAccountName" $ }}
securityContext:
{{- toYaml $.Values.podSecurityContext | nindent 8 }}
containers:
- name: clientmodule-customer-{{ . }}
securityContext:
{{- toYaml $.Values.securityContext | nindent 12 }}
image: "{{ $.Values.image.repository }}:{{ $.Values.image.tag | default $.Chart.AppVersion }}"
imagePullPolicy: {{ $.Values.image.pullPolicy }}
command: ["sh","-c",{{$.Values.command}}]
resources:
{{- toYaml $.Values.resources | nindent 12 }}
{{- with $.Values.nodeSelector }}
nodeSelector:
{{- toYaml . | nindent 8 }}
{{- end }}
{{- with $.Values.affinity }}
affinity:
{{- toYaml . | nindent 8 }}
{{- end }}
{{- with $.Values.tolerations }}
tolerations:
{{- toYaml . | nindent 8 }}
{{- end }}

{{- end }}
you can refer to this answer too : looping over helm

After you entered range, you should be passing chart scope with $, for example $.Values.podAnnotations.
More info in docs
{{ range .Values.customer }}
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: "clientmodule-customer-{{ . }}"
labels:
{{- include "clientmodule.labels" $ | nindent 4 }}

{{- if not $.Values.autoscaling.enabled }}
replicas: {{ $.Values.replicaCount }}
{{- end }}
selector:
matchLabels:
{{- include "clientmodule.selectorLabels" $ | nindent 6 }}
template:
metadata:
{{- with $.Values.podAnnotations }}
annotations:
{{- toYaml . | nindent 8 }}
{{- end }}
labels:
{{- include "clientmodule.selectorLabels" $ | nindent 8 }}
spec:
{{- with $.Values.imagePullSecrets }}
imagePullSecrets:

{{- end }}
serviceAccountName: {{ include "clientmodule.serviceAccountName" $ }}
securityContext:
{{- toYaml $.Values.podSecurityContext | nindent 8 }}
containers:
- name: {{ $.Chart.Name }}
securityContext:
{{- toYaml $.Values.securityContext | nindent 12 }}
