Right now, the Helm chart uses the overlay file system internally for files that it creates in the init container based on Helm configuration options. We need a way for the customer to bring their own files to the party, ideally without modifying anything in the chart and we also want to avoid the 1MB limit on config maps and also see (currently, everything in the scripts directory is pulled into a single config map, and it’s assumed that the files are all text that can be safely imported into the config map JSON).

An existing customer needsf to be able to copy configuration files (which have worked fine so far) and now, also binary content as they work on branding the web UI (old and new).
