Cloud Platform helm charts repository

Cloud Platform Helm repository to store the internal helm charts.

The main advantage is directly related to maintainability: we don’t need to keep an eye ay service, just in source code.

How to use this repository

Adding a helm repository is as easy as:

$ helm repo add cloud-platform https://ministryofjustice.github.io/cloud-platform-helm-charts

CRUD for Charts

Keep in mind two things:

1. Source code of helm charts are inside the main branch,
2. Artifacts inside gh-pages branch which are the ones publicly distributed and available in url https://ministryofjustice.github.io/cloud-platform-helm-charts

If you want to include a new helm chart or amend existing helm chart to create new artifacts(with latest chart version) and publish the artifacts follow the below steps

• Build the artifacts tarballs(tgz) using the command: helm package <chart-name>

• Regenerate index.yaml

helm repo index --url  https://ministryofjustice.github.io/cloud-platform-helm-charts/ --merge index.yaml .

• Raise a PR with all the changes

Once the PR is merged to main branch, the github action sync-branches.yml will push the artifacts into gh-pages branch. The regenerated index (index.html) can then used to upgrade the chart by doing helm repo update
