Description

Hi,
This looks promising!

I see you already support setting some "secret" environment variables via values.

In my case, I'd like to be able to configure these and additional environment variables, for example:

GITHUB_TOKEN
WEBLATE_AUTH_LDAP_SERVER_URI

I would also like to do this without needing to put them in my values.yaml file.

...for example by adding a secret beforehand and configuring this chart to use my predefined secret instead of creating a new one.

As this chart is using postgres, here's an example of how the postgres chart either creates a secret or uses an existing one:
https://github.com/helm/charts/blob/12a061a/stable/postgresql/templates/_helpers.tpl#L210-L232

What do you think, would you be open to supporting something like this?

Research direction

Read charts/weblate/templates/deployment.yaml and charts/weblate/templates/secret.yaml first, then compare the existing secret pattern with the requested environment variables and the linked PostgreSQL example. Done means the chart can use a predefined secret for the current and additional configuration values without requiring those secrets in values.yaml.
