Help Finding Docs related to operator arguments and env about vitess-operator

[mattlord]

@FarhanMS123 you can specify any ENV vars. Whether or not those ENV vars are used by the binary executed within the container depends on the binary. For example, mysqld supports a host of ENV variables and you could specify any of those for the tablet pod which would then get passed on to the mysql container. If you want to know what ones the operator itself uses, you can look at the operator.yml source file which you already highlighted.

This is an open source project and any documentation enhancements would be most welcome. I agree that the current documentation is lacking in a variety of ways. Thanks!

Totally, we are lacking documentation on this project.

I do not think there is any official documentation regarding its arguments or the ENV variables.

You can always run the following command to get the --help output:

$> docker run --platform="linux/amd64" -it --entrypoint /bin/sh planetscale/vitess-operator:v2.13.0  
sh-4.4$ vitess-operator --help

I still think it is not best practice to knowing about a containerized app directly by executing a binary inside it. But, Alright, I still need to know how to maximize these ENV variables,a dn what others ENV can I used.

Second, I find this in this repository:

vitess-operator/test/endtoend/operator/101_initial_cluster.yaml

Line 3 in 826123d

# Please refer to the operator documentation for recommendations on

# The following example is minimalist. The security policies
# and resource specifications are not meant to be used in production.
# Please refer to the operator documentation for recommendations on
# production settings.

I believe this repo IS the operator's documentation. So where is it? I expect it looks like an examples file that define "this is exactly why we means by security in production". I know and already read ./doc/api.md and read overall of it, I just by that line, I expect it give some example. I think the operator binary (not CRDs) is lack of documentation.
