Tell us about your request The ECR gallery ( or public repo ) is missing an index file ( index.yaml ). Because of this certain tools ( the terraform helm provider in my case ) won't install the chart as it's not 100% compatible with public helm chart repositories.

Example from the bitnami helm repository:

Repository: https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami Index file: https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami/index.yaml

Which service(s) is this request for? ECR

Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard? I'm building and pushing helm charts to an ECR-Public repository on AWS. I'm trying to install these helm charts through the terraform helm provider.

This does not work due to a missing index file ( see additional context ).

Directly running the helm commands works.

Are you currently working around this issue? Yes. I can work around it using a null_resource, but I'd rather not in the long run. Alternatively I could try hosting it on a different public helm repository which generates the index.yaml file.

Additional context The error message is the following:

Error: looks like "https://public.ecr.aws/foo/bar" is not a valid chart repository or cannot be reached: failed to fetch https://public.ecr.aws/foo/bar/index.yaml : 401 Unauthorized

Sample code in terraform:

resource "helm_release" "foobar" {
  repository = "https://public.ecr.aws/foo/bar"
  chart      = "foo-bar"
  namespace  = "foo"

  name       = "foo-bar"
  version    = "1.0.0"
}
