Aaron Cutchin / Bitpusher Test Helm Chart Repo

• Based on this tutorial

Procedure

1. Create or Modify Helm Chart

• New Chart from Template

      helm create helm-chart-sources/<chart_name>
  

• Or modify existing chart under helm-chart-sources/

  • NOTE: When modifying a Helm chart, remember to increment version: in Chart.yaml

1. Lint All Charts

    helm lint helm-chart-sources/*
   

2. Package All Charts

    helm package helm-chart-sources/*
   

3. Create/Update Repo Index (index.yaml)

    helm repo index --url `cat repo.url` .
   

4. Update Repo Index with New Charts

    helm repo index --url `cat repo.url` --merge index.yaml .
   

5. Add This Repo to Your Local Helm Repo Cache

    helm repo add ac-bp-helm-charts `cat repo.url`
   

6. Git add/commit/push

7. Configure local Helm Repo Cache

8. Add helm repo (if necessary)

      helm repo add ac-bp-helm-charts https://acutchin-bitpusher.github.io/helm-charts/
   

9. Update helm repo (such as after updating a chart version)

      helm repo update && helm search repo ac-bp-helm-charts
   

   • NOTE: You will likely have to repeat the above command for a few minutes until the most recent chart versions are cached locally. GitHub Pages is CDN-cached and can take up to 10 minutes to refresh!

Search Local Helm Repo Cache for "test" Chart

helm search repo test

Handy multi-command command lines

helm lint helm-chart-sources/* && helm package helm-chart-sources/* && helm repo index --url `cat repo.url` .

git add -A && git commit -m 'test helm chart update' && git push

helm repo update && helm search repo ac-bp-helm-charts
