helm-charts repo
This repository manages two Helm charts (e.g., code-server-chart, vllm-serve) and automates packaging and publishing on every git push (local pre-push hook only; no CI runner required).
How it works
- Local pre-push hook runs
scripts/helm_publish.shand only processes charts that changed relative to the branch upstream (initial push publishes all charts).- If any processed chart fails to package/push, the Git push is aborted.
Configure registry
- Create
.envand fill in:
HELM_OCI_NAMESPACE=gitea.example.com/your-user
HELM_USERNAME=your-username
HELM_PASSWORD=your-token-or-password
The charts are pushed to oci://$HELM_OCI_NAMESPACE (Helm appends the chart name and version). For self-signed or HTTP registries, you can add:
HELM_PUSH_EXTRA_ARGS="--insecure-skip-tls-verify --plain-http"
HELM_LOGIN_EXTRA_ARGS="--insecure --plain-http"
ALLOW_OVERWRITE=1
When ALLOW_OVERWRITE=1 is set, the pre-push will first try to delete the existing <chart>:<version> tag from Harbor via API (requires HELM_USERNAME/HELM_PASSWORD). This is needed because OCI registries do not allow overwriting tags.
Chart discovery
No configuration needed by default. The script auto-discovers chart directories by looking for Chart.yaml up to depth 2 (excluding nested charts/ vendor dir).
By default you don't need to set CHART_DIRS; the hook processes only the charts that changed.
Run manually
./scripts/helm_publish.sh
Use DRY_RUN=1 to only package locally:
DRY_RUN=1 ./scripts/helm_publish.sh
