Helm Publish For Microservices

GitHub Action to package and deploy your Helm charts to GitHub Pages

Based upon helm-gh-pages-action

Usage

This GitHub Action allows you to co-locate your Helm Chart alongside your application code. When pushing/submitting a pull request, the Helm Chart can be produced as an artifact to a Helm Chart repository hosted using GitHub Pages.

The Action will run helm package for every chart folder in the charts directory of your repository and deploy it to GitHub Pages. A basic example workflow is below:

name: Helm Publish

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - dev

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v1
      - uses: dave-mcconnell/helm-gh-pages-microservices@master
        with:
          access-token: ${{ secrets.CR_TOKEN }}
          source-charts-folder: 'test-charts' // location of helm charts in your code repo
          destination-repo: yourusername/helm-charts-repo

Configuration Options

This Action is fairly simple but it does provide you with a couple of configuration options:

• access-token: A [GitHub Personal Access Token][github-access-token] with the repo scope. This is required to push the site to your repo after Helm finished building it. You should store this as a [secret][github-repo-secret] in your repository. Provided as an [input][github-action-input].

• source-charts-folder: The folder to package helm charts from. Defaults to charts.

• destination-repo: The destination repository you want to push your Helm chart to. This is a required field.

• destination-branch: The destination branch you want to push your Helm chart to. Defaults to master.

• destination-charts-folder: The destination folder you want to copy the packages Helm chart to. Defaults to charts.

• destination-charts-folder: The version of Helm you're using - either v2 or v3. Defaults to v3.

Org or User Pages

Create a repository with the format <YOUR/ORG USERNAME>.github.io, push your helm sources to a branch other than master and add this GitHub Action to your workflow! 🚀😃
