Helmfiles

Helmfiles is a comprehensive distribution of declarative helm chart invocations.

It makes it really easy to get up and running with a full stack of fully integrated apps for Kubernetes using helmfile.

Pull Requests are welcome!

This project is part of our comprehensive "SweetOps" approach towards DevOps.

It's 100% Open Source and licensed under the APACHE2.

Usage

Install the latest release of helmfile from the helmfile releases page.

Alternatively, we also distribute helmfile as an alpine package.

Add the cloudposse alpine repository.

# Install the cloudposse alpine repository
ADD https://apk.cloudposse.com/[email protected] /etc/apk/keys/
RUN echo "@cloudposse https://apk.cloudposse.com/3.8/vendor" >> /etc/apk/repositories

Install helmfile from the repository.

RUN apk add helmfile

Docker

We distribute a docker image with all helmfiles. Use a multi-stage build to include them.

FROM cloudposse/helmfiles:latest as helmfiles

COPY --from=helmfiles /helmfiles /conf/helmfiles/

IMPORTANT: we recommend pinning cloudposse/helmfiles to a specific release rather than using latest

Git

git clone [email protected]:cloudposse/helmfiles.git

Deprecations

Helmfiles which are no longer actively maintained are now in the deprecated/ folder.

Many of these deprecated helmfiles use environment variables rather than environments or were designed specifically to work with kops and kiam.

We intend to eventually delete, but are leaving them for now in the repo.
