Upload Helm Charts

This article explains how to upload Helm charts. See the steps below.

  1. Add a Helm repository, refer to Adding a Third-Party Helm Repository for the procedure.

  2. Upload the Helm Chart to the Helm repository.

    Note

    This method is suitable for Harbor, ChartMuseum, JFrog type repositories.

    1. Log in to a node that can access the Helm repository, upload the Helm binary to the node, and install the cm-push plugin (VPN is needed and Git should be installed in advance).

      Refer to the plugin installation process.

    2. Push the Helm Chart to the Helm repository by executing the following command:

      helm cm-push ${charts-dir} ${HELM_REPO_URL} --username ${username} --password ${password}

      Argument descriptions:

      • charts-dir: The directory of the Helm Chart, or the packaged Chart (i.e., .tgz file).
      • HELM_REPO_URL: The URL of the Helm repository.
      • username/password: The username and password for the Helm repository with push permissions.
      • If you want to access via HTTPS and skip the certificate verification, you can add the argument --insecure.

    Note

    This method is only applicable to Harbor repositories.

    1. Log into the Harbor repository, ensuring the logged-in user has permissions to push;

    2. Go to the relevant project, select the Helm Charts tab, click the Upload button on the page to upload the Helm Chart.

  3. Sync Remote Repository Data

    By default, the cluster does not enable Helm Repository Auto-Refresh, so you need to perform a manual sync operation. The general steps are:

    Go to Helm Apps -> Helm Repositories, click the ┇ button on the right side of the repository list, and select Sync Repository to complete the repository data synchronization.

    If you need to enable the Helm repository auto-update feature, you can go to Operations and Maintenance -> Cluster Settings -> Advanced Settings and turn on the Helm repository auto-refresh switch.
