Run 'helm repo update' about helm HOT 16 CLOSED

from helm.

It will be awesome to add helm dependency support.

from helm.

I might be missing something here. I might have to
helm repo add bitnami https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami
helm install bitnami/wordpress

But it doesn't look like there is support for running custom commands before deploy.

from helm.

@ChrisBit ya definitely the helm repo add is the part that's probably missing here. Do you think this fits best as an argument? For example:

  with:
    release: xx
    repository: 'https://charts.bitnami.com'

from helm.

Hi @colinjfw !

Do you think maybe there will be support for running custom commands before deploy? Or is the plan to implement helm commands one by one, helm plugin install for example? If the last case, that argument looks like a good way to solve it.

from helm.

@colinjfw maybe accepting a list of repositories 🤔 ? There would definitely be some cases where we would need more than one custom repository.

@ChrisBit I just went to work on this and I realized something. If you specify the full url of the chart I believe that helm should use the for installation. So one of the wordpress charts should have the url like this:

https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami/wordpress-7.5.3.tgz

If you specify that in the chart option I believe this will work for you. I actually like this better than the helm repo add command because I find it to be a bit more explicit.

Curious what you think.

Hi! Yeah, this was interesting. Looks like the .tgz contains the actual files of the dependencies as well. I think will work. I'll test it as soon as I have time.

Hi again. This did not work with the current helm binary, but I just tested it with helm3 and it works!

Thanks @anasinnyk - I've been trying to get a better testing setup so I can test changes with this action against a real K8s cluster. Hopefully once I get that in I can do this.

It looks like helm v2 can install a chart from a url (see helm/helm#1158 (comment)).

Are there any specific errors that anyone is seeing using something like:

  chart: 'https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami/wordpress-7.5.3.tgz'

I still think that's the best solution here.

from helm.

Specifying URL is just a workaround, not the best solution at all, IMHO.
Hope there will be better solution in the future.
