helm install -n test elasticsearch citizensadvice/elasticsearch

Adding a chart to this repository

Before publishing a chart verify that the metadata in Chart.yaml (e.g. maintainers) are correct:

apiVersion: v1
description: CA fork of Elastic helm chart for Elasticsearch
home: https://github.com/citizensadvice/helm-charts
maintainers:
- email: [email protected]
  name: CA Devops
name: elasticsearch
version: 7.6.2
appVersion: 7.6.2
sources:
  - https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch
icon: https://helm.elastic.co/icons/elasticsearch.png

• Add the chart source to the src directory
• Create a pull request to main
• Chart will be published upon merge

Validator

The Python script bin/validate.py will check the validity of the Chart.yaml in the src directory according to the above criteria.

Troubleshooting

If the publish-charts Action fails with the message:

Error: error creating GitHub release <chart name>-<chart version>: POST https://api.github.com/repos/citizensadvice/helm-charts/releases: 422 Validation Failed [{Resource:Release Field:tag_name Code:already_exists Message:}]

Then you need to bump the version number for said chart, as it will fail if you make changes to a chart but fail to bump the version number.
