Creating a Helm Repo in Github -
James Land - 04 Mar 2021
Create the Git Repository
Here you can either create a new repository and add your own helm charts, or you can fork this repository.
Set up the the Helm Repository
Check out a new branch: git checkout -b gh-pages-2
Package our charts using the helm package command. If using the example github page then then the following commands will work:
helm package example-chart-1
helm package example-chart-2
Create the index.yaml file that will be used to server our charts with the command helm repo index .
Push our changes
git add --all
git commit -m "Releasing helm repository"
git push
Serve our Helm Repo
Inside the Github Web UI navigate to Settings
Under the GitHub Pages section choose the gh-pages-2 branch, and click “Save”
You should see the message “Your site is ready to be published at
Test Our New Repository
Add our newly created repo to our list of helm repos: helm repo add example-repo https://jland-redhat.github.io/helm-repo-example/
And finally validate we can actually view our charts with helm search repo example-repo:
Should see something similar to the following:
NAME CHART VERSION APP VERSION DESCRIPTION
example-repo/example_application-1 1.0.0 1.17.0 A Helm chart for Kubernetes
example-repo/example_application-2 1.0.0 1.17.0 A Helm chart for Kubernetes
