Cloud native Helm charts for Kubernetes, including Nakama game server

A single-chart Helm repository packaging the Nakama game server for Kubernetes, with CockroachDB or Postgres as the backing store. Aimed at game developers who want to run Nakama on their own cluster rather than using the managed cloud offering. There's not much here — one chart, one author, last touched in 2021.

Includes a ServiceMonitor template for Prometheus Operator integration, which saves non-trivial wiring work. Offers a choice between CockroachDB and Postgres for the backend, matching Nakama's own supported options. CI pipeline uses chart-testing (ct) and has a lint-and-test workflow, so the chart structure is at least validated.

Abandoned in March 2021 — Nakama is now at v3.x and this chart likely targets an older version with stale image tags and outdated API objects. Eight stars and seven forks is not enough community momentum to trust this for anything production-facing. The official Heroic Labs repo has its own Helm chart now, making this redundant. CockroachDB is deployed as a single-node Deployment with a PVC, which is not how CockroachDB is meant to run and will surprise anyone who assumes they're getting HA.
