The application consists of a UI that needs to communicate with the API service. Therefore, the API must have endpoints accessible from the client's browser. For this purpose, the Helm chart is configured to support installation via ingress or node port to expose both the UI and the API. If both NodePort and Ingress are disabled, the application will be unreachable. If NodePort or Ingress don't meet your requirements, feel free to modify the configuration as needed.
