OBS Source Service obs-service-vendor_helm

Overview

A source service for Open Build Service (OBS) that vendors Helm charts. This tool simplifies the process of packaging Helm charts by:

• Downloading third-party dependency sub-charts into the appropriate directory inside your main Helm chart;
• Archives the main chart's contents according to a glob pattern. The archive is ready for consumption from OBS' build recipe for Helm charts.

This service is expected to be used in combination with other OBS source services like tar_scm, recompress and others.

Installation

This service is available from the standard repository for OBS source services: openSUSE:Tools. It's also available in Tumbleweed.

To install the service:

sudo zypper in obs-service-vendor_helm

[!WARNING]: This project is not yet available in the mentioned repositories since it's in the process of submission.

Usage

Example usage in your project's _service file when the repository is named your-repo and the chart that you are interested in is llocated at a subdirectory charts/your-chart (where the Chart.yaml file is):

<services>
  <service name="tar_scm" mode="manual">
    <param name="url">https://your-domain.com/your-repo.git</param>
    <param name="revision">@PARENT_TAG@</param>
    <param name="version">_none_</param>
    <param name="subdir">charts/your-chart</param>
    <param name="extract">values.yaml</param>
    <param name="extract">Chart.yaml</param>
  </service>
  <service name="vendor_helm" mode="manual">
    <param name="subdir">your-repo/charts/your-chart</param>
    <param name="include">{charts,templates}</param>
  </service>
  <service name="recompress" mode="manual">
    <param name="file">*.tar</param>
    <param name="compression">gz</param>
  </service>
</services>

This would produce a file named contents.tar.gz that contains the charts (with all third-party sub-charts downloaded) and templates directories.

Options

For the available options check the .service file.
