Hello @chanwit, Were you able to document the release process? I see several users requesting a new release.

Hi @akselleirv

It would involve a few steps:

• Run https://github.com/flux-iac/tofu-controller/blob/main/tools/bump-version.sh script on a local repo to bump version, commit and push
• Do git tag the version then git push that tag
• Wait until images are built. this step would take 1-2 hours to complete. ARM images are slow to build. If failed, it's safe to delete tag or release manually and repeat the process.
• After images published, go to https://github.com/flux-iac/tofu-controller/actions/workflows/helm-release.yaml , run the action manually on the main branch to make sure the Helm chart got released.

Could you try and let me know if you run into any problems.

Please also feel free to record your findings if I miss some steps

Thanks @chanwit ! I'll create a markdown file with the steps required after the next release.
