Development

Each individual chart is available in the chart directory in charts/.

This repository follows the helm/charts-repo-actions-demo template, that support the testing and the release of helm charts with the help of two tools:

In order to install all the tools required for development on MacOS via Homebrew, run: brew bundle install

To setup pre-commit, run:

pre-commit install

To install required helm plugins:

helm plugin install https://github.com/jtyr/kubeconform-helm --version v0.1.12
helm plugin install https://github.com/helm-unittest/helm-unittest --version v0.3.4

PR workflow

Each time a PR is raised, ct automatically detects which charts has been changed and run for them:

  • linter
  • unittest
  • integration tests on KinD

Once a PR that contains a chart version bump is merged, the main workflow will release each version that has not yet released. Each chart release will trigger the creation of git tag, a GitHub release with packages attached and the update of the charts registry index.

Update dependencies

There is an initial support for bumping charts dependencies with Updatecli via a manually triggered GHA workflow.

Testing

Each chart is tested against a default configuration on KinD. You can check the currently tested K8s version by looking at the KIND_NODE_IMAGE value in the main lint-test workflow.

We are ensuring backward compatibility with older K8s versions with kubeconform. You can check the oldest K8s version tested by looking at kubernetes-version inside the kubeconform-helm-min hook in pre-commit configuration.

Release

Helm charts versioning should comply to agreed scheme

  • Ensure alfresco-common version is not a pre-release, otherwise release it.
  • Ensure supported-matrix has been manually updated for the latest acs version released and the compatibility matrix is up to date.
  • Trigger the creation of an update branch by executing Bump version with values option. Optionally you can test not yet merged changes from alfresco-updatecli by specifying a branch other than master.
  • Check that updatecli-bump-acs branch has been created. Review changes made by updatecli according to the supported matrix, eventually revert manually unwanted changes and push again.
  • Ensure that all the charts are getting a GA release (non-alpha) at this point.
  • Once the PR has been merged and all charts released, you can head to acs-deployment to update the ACS umbrella chart.
