Namespace cannot be overwritten with helm template

[rgruchalski-klarrio]

It would be awesome if the chart allowed overwriting the namespace of the:

• deployment.apps/cert-manager-istio-csr
• service/cert-manager-istio-csr
• service/cert-manager-istio-csr-metrics
• the istio-csr pod (replica set)
• service account

Currently, when doing:

helm template --name-template=cert-manager-istio-csr \
    --namespace cert-manager \
    --set "app.tls.rootCAFile=/var/run/secrets/istio-csr/ca.pem" ...

into a kustomization, and kubectl apply -k of the resulting yaml, those resources end up in the default namespace.

kubectl get all -n default
NAME                                          READY   STATUS              RESTARTS   AGE
pod/cert-manager-istio-csr-5bc67d8f65-wt85l   0/1     ContainerCreating   0          16m

NAME                                     TYPE        CLUSTER-IP      EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)    AGE
service/cert-manager-istio-csr           ClusterIP   10.96.58.72     <none>        443/TCP    16m
service/cert-manager-istio-csr-metrics   ClusterIP   10.96.139.220   <none>        9402/TCP   16m
service/kubernetes                       ClusterIP   10.96.0.1       <none>        443/TCP    17m

NAME                                     READY   UP-TO-DATE   AVAILABLE   AGE
deployment.apps/cert-manager-istio-csr   0/1     1            0           16m

NAME                                                DESIRED   CURRENT   READY   AGE
replicaset.apps/cert-manager-istio-csr-5bc67d8f65   1         1         0       16m

Preferably the chart would define a way to set the namespace at the template time.

yes please. we install these components into a namespace called cert-manager.
