helm-tar-update

A reusable GitHub Action Workflow to automatically fetch helm tarballs.

Context

There exist multiple solutions for automatic version updates for helm. While this is great, there are cases where folks keep a copy of the release tarball. Either for caching optimization or to ensure that it stays available... Regardless of the reason, this re-usable workflow ensures that when a dependency update happens, a tarball is downloaded.

Usage

In your workflow, simply add the following:

name: Update Helm Tarball
on:
  pull_request:
    branches:
    - main

jobs:
  update-helm-deps-tarballs:
    uses: metal-toolbox/helm-tar-update/.github/workflows/helm-tar-update.yml@main

This will make sure that for any pull request that updates Helm dependencies, the tarball for those dependencies will be downloaded and commited to appropriate branch to come along the pull request.

Note that this will only happen if you keep a charts directory with your Helm chart.

helm-tar-update's Issues

signature verification

Currently, the workflow merely downloads whatever is available in Helm in the assigned repository. It would be ideal to check signatures first (if they are available) and fail if there are inconsistencies.

Dependency Dashboard

This issue lists Renovate updates and detected dependencies. Read the Dependency Dashboard docs to learn more.

Open

These updates have all been created already. Click a checkbox below to force a retry/rebase of any.

• Update actions/checkout action to v4
• Update azure/setup-helm action to v4

Detected dependencies

github-actions

.github/workflows/helm-tar-update.yml

• actions/checkout v3
• azure/setup-helm v3

---

• Check this box to trigger a request for Renovate to run again on this repository

tarball cleanup

Currently, the workflow will only download a new tarball while leaving the old one in place. It would be ideal for the workflow to clean up after itself and remove unused dependencies.

Action Required: Fix Renovate Configuration

There is an error with this repository's Renovate configuration that needs to be fixed. As a precaution, Renovate will stop PRs until it is resolved.

Location: None
Error type: An existing branch is blocking Renovate
Message: Renovate needs to create the branch "renovate/configure" but is blocked from doing so because of an existing branch called "renovate". Please remove it so that Renovate can proceed.
