$ helm install iorad/<chart-name>

How to develop

Fork this repo

• With the name iorad-helm-charts

• Clone your forked repo:

  $ cd ~/iorad-dev/workspace
  $ git clone [e-mail]:<your_github_account>/iorad-helm-charts.git
  $ cd iorad-helm-charts
  $ git remote add upstream [e-mail]:iorad/helm-charts.git # to track and sync with the upstream repo

gh-pages deployment

• Create a branch called gh-pages to store the index.yaml file of published charts:

$ git switch --orphan gh-pages
$ git commit --allow-empty -m "initial setup"
$ git push origin gh-pages

• Make sure gh-pages works by checking your github repo's page settings

• Make sure github actions is enabled for your repository

• You should see the generated index.yaml file at: https://<your_github_account>.github.io/iorad-helm-charts/index.yaml

Update helm charts

• When any changes are made and pushed to the main branch, we need to update the chart's version and it will be released and updated to the helm chart repository.

• We follow the semantic versioning, starting from 0.1.0-alpha.1 to 0.1.0-beta.x, 0.1.0-rc.x and 0.1.0 and then to finally to reach 1.0.0 as the first production version.

• Whenever a helm chart reaches a major version release, create a new chart named chart-name-v<major_version>, for example: example-v1, example-v2, etc to keep charts easily updated.
