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.sh to helm package and helm push all charts found under this folder (directories containing a Chart.yaml).
  • If any chart fails to package/push, the Git push is aborted.

Configure registry

1. Create .env and 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"

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).

Optionally pin which chart directories to process:

export CHART_DIRS="code-server-chart vllm-serve"

Run manually

./scripts/helm_publish.sh

Use DRY_RUN=1 to only package locally:

DRY_RUN=1 ./scripts/helm_publish.sh
