Helm Resource for Concourse

CI Build

Deploy Helm Charts from Concourse.

Heavily based on the work of linkyard/concourse-helm-resource.

IMPORTANT NOTES

  • Version 1.25.0 expects cluster_ca in base64 format in a new parameter called cluster_ca_base64. cluster_ca can still be used if a plain certificate is passed.
  • Version 1.21.0 to 1.24.2 seems to be broken for certain uses cases. See Issue#83
  • Version 1.21.0 to 1.24.2 seems to be missing helm diff plugin due to the use of HELM_PLUGINS environment variable
    • HELM_PLUGINS was used as a build arg to store plugins list, which made the plugins be installed in a weird place. Since this was a build arg only, installing the plugin again at run time worked.
  • Feel free to add to this list
  • Most of those have been fixed with v1.25.0 available in GHCR only

Docker Image

You can pull the resource image from typositoire/concourse-helm3-resource. "Dockerhub Pull Badge"

DEPRECATION OF DOCKER HUB

Starting with version 1.25.0, can you can no longer pull this resource from Docker Hub.

Starting with version 1.19.1, you can pull the resource from GitHub ghcr.io/typositoire/concourse-helm3-resource. Docker hub will eventually stop receiving new images.

  • gcloud_service_account_key_file: Optional Mandatory if gcloud_cluster_auth is set to true and gcloud_workload_identity_enabled is set to false. Pass gcloud service account json contents as value or a file path containing service_account json.

  • gcloud_workload_identity_enabled: Optional Mandatory if gcloud_cluster_auth is set to true and gcloud_service_account_key_file is not set. Workload identity must be enabled on the cluster. (Default: false)

  • gcloud_project_name: Optional Mandatory if gcloud_cluster_auth is set to true. Pass gcloud project name where cluster is installed.

  • aws.role.arn Optional. ARN of the role to be used for EKS authentication
  • aws.role.session_name Optional. Session name of the assume-role session
  • aws.user.access_key_id Optional. Access key id of the user credential used for EKS authentication
  • aws.user.secret_access_key Optional. Secret access key of the user credential used for EKS authentication

Behavior

check: Check the release, not happy with dynamic releases.

in: Not Supported

out: Deploy a helm chart (V3 only)

Deploy an helm chart

Parameters

  • private_registry.ecr.region: Optional. Region of ECR helm registry.
  • private_registry.ecr.account_id: Optional. AWS account id of ECR helm registry.
  • private_registry.ecr.profile Optional. Name of the AWS profile to store/use credentials, defaults to default. Only used for non-role based authentication.
  • private_registry.ecr.role.arn: Optional. AWS IAM role ARN to be used to authenticate with ECR helm registry.
  • private_registry.ecr.role.session_name: Optional. AWS assume role session name for authenticating with ECR helm registry.
  • private_registry.ecr.user.access_key_id Optional. Access key id of the user credential used for ECR helm registry authentication
  • private_registry.ecr.user.secret_access_key Optional. Secret access key of the user credential used for ECR helm registry authentication
  • chart: Required. Either the file containing the helm chart to deploy (ends with .tgz), the path to a local directory containing the chart or the name of the chart from a repo (e.g. stable/mysql).
  • namespace: Optional. Either a file containing the name of the namespace or the name of the namespace. (Default: taken from source configuration).
  • create_namespace: Optional. Create the namespace if it doesn't exist (Default: false).
  • release: Optional. Either a file containing the name of the release or the name of the release. (Default: taken from source configuration).
  • values: Optional. File containing the values.yaml for the deployment. Supports setting multiple value files using an array.
  • override_values: Optional. Array of values that can override those defined in values.yaml. Each entry in the array is a map containing a key and a value or path. Value is set directly while path reads the contents of the file in that path. A hide: true parameter ensures that the value is not logged and instead replaced with ***HIDDEN***. A type: string parameter makes sure Helm always treats the value as a string (uses the --set-string option to Helm; useful if the value varies and may look like a number, eg. if it's a Git commit hash). A type: file parameter makes Helm treats the path as file (uses the --set-file option to Helm). A verbatim: true parameter escapes backslashes so the value is passed as-is to the Helm chart (useful for ((credentials))). The default behaviour of backslashes in --set is to quote the next character so val\ue is treated as value by Helm.
  • token_path: Optional. Path to file containing the bearer token for Kubernetes. This, 'token' or admin_key/admin_cert are required if cluster_url is https.
  • version: Optional Chart version to deploy, can be a file or a value. Only applies if chart is not a file.
  • test: Optional. Test the release instead of installing it. Requires the release. (Default: false)
  • test_logs: Optional. Display pod logs when running test. (Default: false)
  • uninstall: Optional. Uninstalls the release instead of installing it. Requires the release. (Default: false)
  • delete_namespace: Optional. Deletes the namespace after uninstall. Requires uninstall set to true and namespace. (Default: false)
  • replace: Optional. Replace uninstall release with same name. (Default: false)
  • force: Optional. Force resource update through uninstall/recreate if needed. (Default: false)
  • devel: Optional. Allow development versions of chart to be installed. This is useful when wanting to install pre-release charts (i.e. 1.0.2-rc1) without having to specify a version. (Default: false)
  • debug: Optional. Dry run the helm install with the debug flag which logs interpolated chart templates. (Default: false)
  • check_is_ready: Optional. Requires that wait is set to Default. Applies --wait without timeout. (Default: false)
  • wait_for_jobs: Optional. Requires that wait is set to Default. Applies --wait and --wait-for-jobs without timeout. (Default: false)
  • atomic: Optional. This flag will cause failed installs to purge the release, and failed upgrades to rollback to the previous release. (Default: false)
  • reuse_values: Optional. When upgrading, reuse the last release's values. (Default: false)
  • reset_values: Optional. When upgrading, reset the values to the ones built into the chart. (Default: false)
  • timeout: Optional. This flag sets the max time to wait for any individual Kubernetes operation. (Default: 5m0s)
  • wait: Optional. Allows deploy task to sleep for X seconds before continuing to next task. Allows pods to restart and become stable, useful where dependency between pods exists. (Default: 0)
  • kubeconfig: Optional. String containing a kubeconfig. Overrides kubeconfig_path and source configuration for cluster, token, and admin config.
  • kubeconfig_path: Optional. File containing a kubeconfig. Overrides source configuration for cluster, token, and admin config.
  • show_diff: Optional. Show the diff that is applied if upgrading an existing successful release. (Default: false)
