Publish Helm chart
Please publish the Helm chart.
It can be done with chart-releaser or helm-publish Github action, for example.
I'm not opposed and overall the PR looks good. I think we need to understand how this fits into our release process and documentation.
@jkatz Usually, Helm charts have independent release cycle. An alternative would be use a staging directory, like Gatekeeper does, but this is a complex machinery.
This would solve this issue https://github.com/CrunchyData/postgres-operator/issues/2231
@jkatz A released chart is important to:
- Truly use the operator in a IaC/GitOps way and simplify upgrade management (for example using bots to open PR's and test upgrades automatically when a new version is released)
- Simplify consumption for newcomers:
helm repo add crunchydata https://crunchydata.github.io/helm-charts helm install postgres-operator crunchydata/postgres-operator
@sathieu However, I'd recommend doing it in another repo, it's weird to have charts released from a repo called postgres-operator-examples. Ideally that'd be from the official repo postgres-operator but there is already a GH pages site published from it. @jkatz I would recommend creating a helm-charts repo.
Hello everyone! The chart itself looks very good and is well-documented, what burps us from using it in production is the fact that we need to check out the GitHub repo instead of being able to manage the life cycle from a Helm repository. Is this feature on your roadmap somehow?
Until the chart is published in a Helm repository could this repository at least be tagged when the chart is updated that way we wouldn't have to clone the main branch.
This is breaking for our usage of the crunchydata operator. Please publish a helm chart.
Just adding to the list of engineers spending way too much time trying to manage the helm chart. This makes for a terrible user experience and the bar to fix it is pretty low.
We have released the Helm chart as noted here: https://github.com/CrunchyData/postgres-operator-examples/pull/28#issuecomment-1361970898
(I won't bother copy-pasting Andrew's whole answer, but he covers everything I would want to say about it. Please reopen this issue if there's something else about this topic that isn't addressed.)
