title: is there a Helm built-in function that would allow me to write a file within my chart to an external directory?
body: <p>Our helm charts create the appropriate k8s manifest and they install into our cluster.  Associated (or packaged within our helm chart is a rule file which I would like to be able to write to some external directory.</p>
  
  <p>What we would like to do is for an integrator to install an number of our helm charts. Each helm chart they install will have a rule that would be written to some external directory. The integrator after installing all of the associated helm charts would then inspect the rule's directory and then create a configmap containing those rules. </p>
  
  <p>We can't create the configmap until we have install all the helm charts that contribute rules. Is there a helm built in that would allow me to write one (or more) files to an external directory? </p>
