问题
I have a helm repository set up for my CI/CD pipeline, but the one thing I am having trouble with is helm's versioning system which is focused on a semantic versioning system as in x.x.x.
I want to be able to specify tags like "staging", "latest", and "production", and although I am able to successfully upload charts with string versions
NAME CHART VERSION APP VERSION
chartmuseum/myrchart latest 1.0
Any attempt to actually access the chart fails, such as
helm inspect chartmuseum/mychart --version=latest
Generates the error:
Error: failed to download "chartmuseum/mychart" (hint: running 'helm repo update' may help)
I don't really want to get into controlled semantic versioning at this point in development, or the mess that is appending hashes to a version. Is there any way to get helm to pull non-semantically tagged chart versions?
回答1:
My approach to this, where I do not want to version my chart (and subcharts) semanticaly as well is not to use helm repository at all and just pull whole chart in CI/CD from git instead. If you are publishing them to wider audience this may not suit you, but for own CI/CD which is authorized to access our repositories anyway it works like charm.
回答2:
I found something that worked for me. Since the semvar allows you to append values after the last number like 0.1.0-aebcaber, I've taken to simply using 0.1.0-latest and overwriting that in chartmuseum on uploads.
