<p>How do you update postgresql.conf or pg_hba.conf for the main postgresql chart on <a href="https://artifacthub.io" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://artifacthub.io</a>? (In particular I have been trying to update the wal_level within the postgresql.conf)</p>

<p>Documentation is hard to follow without any real good examples, but basically in the fine print they mention you have to completely override postgresql.conf and pg_hba.conf if you want to update anything here. I'm sure there is a better way to perform an update of just one key such as wal_level, but I found this approach to be the best at the moment.</p>
<p>Copy this yaml into a file (/path/to/this/file/values_bitnami_pg_postgresql_conf.yaml) and use if when you install the chart. This yaml contains all of the keys I found possible to edit at time of writing.</p>
