Using GCS as a helm repo

We are able to use GCS (Google cloud storage) as a helm repo.

This is especially useful where we want to package charts to be used by people who do not always have access to teh repo.

Install plugin

We need to have the helm gcs plugin to use this

helm plugin install https://github.com/hayorov/helm-gcs.git

helm plugin update gcs

Note

We only need to do this once when we create a new bucket.

helm gcs init gs://bysd-helmstore

helm repo add bysd-store gs://bysd-helmstore

helm gcs push chart.tar.gz bysd-store

As a biproduct of this, it will update the index.yaml file for you

helm repo update

helm gcs rm chart repo-name
