Fixes Kubernetes label validation error when deploying dashboard ConfigMap.
Problem:
- Kubernetes labels cannot contain spaces (validation regex: [A-Za-z0-9][-A-Za-z0-9_.]*[A-Za-z0-9])
- Previous implementation had grafana_folder: "Nextcloud MCP" as a label
- Deployment failed with: "Invalid value: 'Nextcloud MCP'"
Solution:
- Move grafana_folder from labels to annotations (annotations allow spaces)
- Keep grafana_dashboard="1" as label for ConfigMap discovery
- Grafana sidecar reads folder name from folderAnnotation parameter
Changes:
- dashboard-configmap.yaml: Move grafana_folder to annotations section
- dashboards/README.md: Fix kubectl commands to use annotations
- values.yaml: Update comments to clarify annotation usage
This follows the standard kube-prometheus-stack pattern where:
- Labels are used for ConfigMap discovery (strict validation)
- Annotations are used for metadata like folder names (relaxed validation)
