Are we launching this on 6.3? Not back porting it to 6.2?

I'm fine to create a backport on 6.2.x branch.

That said, regarding the number of improvements for 6.3.0, I will focus on 6.3.0 as first citizen 😄

# ActiveMQ Helm Chart

A Helm chart for deploying [Apache ActiveMQ](https://activemq.apache.org/) on Kubernetes.

## Introduction

This chart bootstraps an Apache ActiveMQ broker deployment on a Kubernetes cluster using the [Helm](https://helm.sh) package manager. It deploys ActiveMQ as a StatefulSet with persistent storage for the KahaDB message store.

## Prerequisites

- Kubernetes 1.24+
- Helm 3.10+
- PV provisioner support in the underlying infrastructure (if persistence is enabled)

## Installing the Chart

To install the chart with the release name `my-activemq`:

```bash
helm install my-activemq ./helm/activemq
```

To install with custom values:

```bash
helm install my-activemq ./helm/activemq -f my-values.yaml
```

## Uninstalling the Chart

To uninstall/delete the `my-activemq` deployment:

```bash
helm uninstall my-activemq
```

> **Note:** Uninstalling the chart does not delete PersistentVolumeClaims created by the StatefulSet. To delete them:
> ```bash
> kubectl delete pvc -l app.kubernetes.io/instance=my-activemq
> ```

## Accessing ActiveMQ

### Web Console

The ActiveMQ Web Console is available on port 8161. To access it locally:

```bash
kubectl port-forward svc/my-activemq-web 8161:8161
```

Then open http://localhost:8161 in your browser and log in with the configured credentials (default: `admin`/`admin`).

### Broker Connections

Applications can connect to ActiveMQ using the following protocols from within the cluster:

| Protocol | URL |
|----------|-----|
| OpenWire (JMS) | `tcp://my-activemq:61616` |
| AMQP | `amqp://my-activemq:5672` |
| STOMP | `stomp://my-activemq:61613` |
| MQTT | `mqtt://my-activemq:1883` |
| WebSocket | `ws://my-activemq:61614` |

To connect from outside the cluster, use port-forwarding:

```bash
kubectl port-forward svc/my-activemq 61616:61616
```

Then connect to `tcp://localhost:61616`.

## Custom Configuration

You can provide a custom `activemq.xml` directly in your values file:

```yaml
broker:
activemqXml: |
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
http://activemq.apache.org/schema/core
http://activemq.apache.org/schema/core/activemq-core.xsd">
<broker xmlns="http://activemq.apache.org/schema/core"
brokerName="localhost" dataDirectory="${activemq.data}">
<!-- your custom configuration here -->
</broker>
<import resource="jetty.xml"/>
</beans>
```

Similarly, you can customize `jetty.xml` and `log4j2.properties` via `broker.jettyXml` and `broker.log4j2Properties`.

See the [examples/](examples/) directory for complete example values files:
- `activemq-custom.yaml` - Custom broker configuration with `activemq.xml`
- `production.yaml` - Production-ready settings with external secrets, ingress, and anti-affinity

## Credentials

Credentials are stored in Kubernetes Secrets. For production, use existing secrets instead of plaintext values:

```yaml
broker:
credentials:
existingSecret: "my-activemq-credentials"
web:
existingSecret: "my-activemq-web-credentials"
```

Create the secrets beforehand:

```bash
kubectl create secret generic my-activemq-credentials \
--from-literal=connection-username=admin \
--from-literal=connection-password=s3cur3p4ss

kubectl create secret generic my-activemq-web-credentials \
--from-literal=web-username=admin \
--from-literal=web-password=s3cur3p4ss
```

## Persistence

The ActiveMQ image stores message data (KahaDB) at `/opt/apache-activemq/data`.

By default, the chart creates a PersistentVolumeClaim for each pod via the StatefulSet's `volumeClaimTemplates`. The volume is provisioned dynamically using the cluster's default StorageClass.

To disable persistence (data will be lost on pod restart):

```yaml
persistence:
enabled: false
```

## Monitoring

To enable Prometheus monitoring via the ServiceMonitor CRD:

```yaml
serviceMonitor:
enabled: true
interval: 30s
```

This requires the [Prometheus Operator](https://prometheus-operator.dev/) to be installed in your cluster.
