描述

I couldn’t find any official documentation for installing LitmusChaos without deploying the ChaosCenter (UI).

My goal is to run LitmusChaos purely as infrastructure i.e., core + agents + CRDs and trigger experiments via CI/CD pipelines, without using the UI. I want a setup where chaos experiments can be created and executed programmatically, without deploying ChaosCenter.

I noticed that Helm charts like litmus-core and litmus-agent exist, which suggests this deployment model is supported. However, there is no official guide or best practice document covering this approach.

It seems that litmusctl can be used to manage infrastructure and experiments without the ChaosCenter.

Would be great to provide related documentation.

研究方向
Review the existing Helm charts (litmus core, litmus agent) in the repository's charts directory. Examine the docs folder for existing installation guides and the litmusctl CLI documentation. Check the issue comments for any maintainer guidance. Create a new documentation page covering headless installation steps, including using litmusctl to manage experiments programmatically.
