helm maven plugin

This maven plugin provides a build lifecycle for building and deploying helm charts. It is built on top of Device Insights helm maven plugin.

usage

In order to make the helm build lifecycle available add this plugin to your build activating extensions:

...
<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>de.eitco.cicd.helm</groupId>
            <artifactId>helm-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>4.0.1</version>
            <extensions>true</extensions>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

Now you can activate the helm build lifecycle by specifying the packaging helm:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

    <groupId>your.group.id</groupId>
    <artifactId>your-artifact-id</artifactId>
    <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <packaging>helm</packaging>
...
</project>

One required parameter needs to be set, though - the version of helm to use:

...
<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>de.eitco.cicd.helm</groupId>
            <artifactId>helm-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>4.0.1</version>
            <extensions>true</extensions>
            <configuration>
                <helmVersion>3.15.3</helmVersion>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

Now you can add your files in src/main/helm.

• a complete reference about the goals and paramters of this plugin can be found here.
• Refer to the integration test for a simple example.

📘 Note that there is no Chart.yaml file in this example. The plugin will generate this file by itself from values configured in the pom.xml
