typositoire/concourse-helm3-resource repository overview

⁠Helm Resource for Concourse

Deploy Helm Charts⁠ from Concourse⁠.

Heavily based on the work of linkyard/concourse-helm-resource⁠.

⁠Docker Image

You can pull the resource image from typositoire/concourse-helm3-resource⁠.

⁠Usage

resource_types:
- name: helm
  type: docker-image
  source:
    repository: typositoire/concourse-helm3-resource

⁠Source Configuration

• cluster_url: Optional. URL to Kubernetes Master API service. Do not set when using the kubeconfig_path parameter, otherwise required.
• cluster_ca: Optional. Cluster CA certificate PEM, optionally Base64 encoded. (Required if insecure_cluster == false)
• insecure_cluster: Optional. Skip TLS verification for cluster API. (Required if cluster_ca is nil)
• token: Optional. Bearer token for Kubernetes. This, token_path or admin_key/admin_cert are required if cluster_url is https.
• token_path: Optional. Path to file containing the bearer token for Kubernetes. This, 'token' or admin_key/admin_cert are required if cluster_url is https.
• admin_key: Optional. Base64 encoded PEM. Required if cluster_url is https and no token or 'token_path' is provided.
• admin_cert: Optional. Base64 encoded PEM. Required if cluster_url is https and no token or 'token_path' is provided.
• release: Optional. Name of the release (not a file, a string). (Default: autogenerated by helm)
• namespace: Optional. Kubernetes namespace the chart will be installed into. (Default: default)
• helm_history_max: Optional. Limits the maximum number of revisions. (Default: 0 = no limit)
• repos: Optional. Array of Helm repositories to initialize, each repository is defined as an object with properties name, url (required) username and password (optional).
• plugins: Optional. Array of Helm plugins to install, each defined as an object with properties url (required), version (optional).
• stable_repo: Optional A false value will disable using a default Helm stable repo. Any other value will be used to Override default Helm stable repo URL https://charts.helm.sh/stable⁠. Useful if running helm deploys without internet access.
• tracing_enabled: Optional. Enable extremely verbose tracing for this resource. Useful when developing the resource itself. May allow secrets to be displayed. (Default: false)
• helm_setup_purge_all: Optional. Delete and purge every helm release. Use with extreme caution. (Default: false)

⁠Source options for Google Cloud

• gcloud_cluster_auth: Optional. Set to true to use gcloud service account file for kubernetes cluster authentication.

• gcloud_service_account_key_file: Optional Manadatory if gcloud_cluster_auth is set to true. Pass gcloud service account json contents as value or a file path containing service_account json.

• gcloud_project_name: Optional Manadatory if gcloud_cluster_auth is set to true. Pass gcloud project name where cluster is installed.

• gcloud_k8s_cluster_name: Optional Manadatory if gcloud_cluster_auth is set to true. Pass gcloud cluster name.

• gcloud_k8s_zone: Optional Manadatory if gcloud_cluster_auth is set to true. Pass gcloud kubernetes cluster zone.

⁠Source options for DigitalOcean

• digitalocean.cluster_id Optional. ClusterID on digitalocean to fetch kubeconfig.
• digitalocean.access_token Optionl. Read Access Token to fetch kubeconfig.

⁠Behavior

⁠check: Check the release, not happy with dynamic releases.

⁠in: Not Supported

⁠out: Deploy a helm chart (V3 only)

Deploy an helm chart

⁠Parameters

• chart: Required. Either the file containing the helm chart to deploy (ends with .tgz), the path to a local directory containing the chart or the name of the chart from a repo (e.g. stable/mysql).
• namespace: Optional. Either a file containing the name of the namespace or the name of the namespace. (Default: taken from source configuration).
• create_namespace: Optional. Create the namespace if it doesn't exist (Default: false).
• release: Optional. Either a file containing the name of the release or the name of the release. (Default: taken from source configuration).
• values: Optional. File containing the values.yaml for the deployment. Supports setting multiple value files using an array.
• override_values: Optional. Array of values that can override those defined in values.yaml. Each entry in the array is a map containing a key and a value or path. Value is set directly while path reads the contents of the file in that path. A hide: true parameter ensures that the value is not logged and instead replaced with ***HIDDEN***. A type: string parameter makes sure Helm always treats the value as a string (uses the --set-string option to Helm; useful if the value varies and may look like a number, eg. if it's a Git commit hash). A verbatim: true parameter escapes backslashes so the value is passed as-is to the Helm chart (useful for ((credentials))). The default behaviour of backslashes in --set is to quote the next character so val\ue is treated as value by Helm.
• token_path: Optional. Path to file containing the bearer token for Kubernetes. This, 'token' or admin_key/admin_cert are required if cluster_url is https.
• version: Optional Chart version to deploy, can be a file or a value. Only applies if chart is not a file.
• test: Optional. Test the release instead of installing it. Requires the release. (Default: false)
• test_logs: Optional. Display pod logs when running test. (Default: false)
• delete: Optional. Deletes the release instead of installing it. Requires the release. (Default: false)
• replace: Optional. Replace deleted release with same name. (Default: false)
• force: Optional. Force resource update through delete/recreate if needed. (Default: false)
• devel: Optional. Allow development versions of chart to be installed. This is useful when wanting to install pre-release charts (i.e. 1.0.2-rc1) without having to specify a version. (Default: false)
• debug: Optional. Dry run the helm install with the debug flag which logs interpolated chart templates. (Default: false)
• check_is_ready: Optional. Requires that wait is set to Default. Applies --wait without timeout. (Default: false)
• atomic: Optional. This flag will cause failed installs to purge the release, and failed upgrades to rollback to the previous release. (Default: false)
• reuse_values: Optional. When upgrading, reuse the last release's values. (Default: false)
• reset_values: Optional. When upgrading, reset the values to the ones built into the chart. (Default: false)
• timeout: Optional. This flag sets the max time to wait for any individual Kubernetes operation. (Default: 5m0s)
• wait: Optional. Allows deploy task to sleep for X seconds before continuing to next task. Allows pods to restart and become stable, useful where dependency between pods exists. (Default: 0)
• kubeconfig_path: Optional. File containing a kubeconfig. Overrides source configuration for cluster, token, and admin config.
• show_diff: Optional. Show the diff that is applied if upgrading an existing successful release. Will not be used when devel is set. (Default: false)
• skip_missing_values: Optional. Missing values files are skipped if they are specified in the values but do not exist. (Default false)
