## Configure via Unattended Configuration

If you are managing Develocity using a GitOps or automated workflow, you can define the global settings using [Unattended Configuration](https://docs.gradle.com/develocity/2026.1/administration/unattended-configuration/). Depending on your deployment strategy, you can provide these settings either as Integrated configuration within your _values.yaml_ or as a **Standalone** configuration file.

```yaml
version: 15
systemPassword: "«hashed-system-password»"
helpContact:
  email: contact@acme.org (1)
  name: ACME (2)
```

1. The primary recipient for all help and support inquiries.
2. The name that will appear as the contact for help and support.

### Deployment Templates

Download the appropriate YAML template to begin your infrastructure configuration.

_For Develocity versions 2025.3 and prior, see the [2025.2 Administration Guide](https://docs.gradle.com/develocity/legacy/helm-admin/2025.2) or the [2025.3 Administration Manual](https://docs.gradle.com/develocity/2025.3/administration/admin-manual/)._

<table><tbody><tr><td class="hdlist1"><strong>Cluster Deployment</strong></td><td class="hdlist2">Example template for cluster orchestration. gradle-enterprise-config-schema-15.yaml SHA256 ASC ASC SHA256</td></tr><tr><td class="hdlist1"><strong>Standalone Deployment</strong></td><td class="hdlist2">Example template for standalone setup. gradle-standalone-config-schema-15.yaml | SHA256 | ASC | ASC SHA256</td></tr></tbody></table>

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Pre-deployment Checklist Backup: Export your current settings via Administration  Import/export before applying changes. Deployment: After updating your values.yaml, re-deploy using Helm. Impact: This triggers service restarts and may take several minutes to complete. See Unattended Configuration for details.
