Officially maintained helm chart repositories

[caniko]

Both postgres-operator and postgres-operator-ui should have an officially maintained helm chart repository on artifacthub

@FxKu any news on this? Isn't it a simple github action for auto-upload?

[FxKu]

I don't know. Maybe you want to try it out and provide a PR?

[caniko]

I can create a PR for the github action, but you would need to create an artifactory account, and populate the job with neccessary secrets yourselves. Otherwise, it wouldn't be an official helm repository, but a community repository.

The PR would implement something like this.

Hope that makes sense @FxKu. It really is something that should be done on your end. The Hashicorp Vault repo is a good example.

Looks like it's technically already in place. I haven't tested it fully, but I see that in each chart, we have an index.yaml that lists the releases and where to grab the tgz archive of it. And it's already published to gh-pages. You can see the index file on gh pages for each one here and here. So each chart is serving it's own repository, but a quick test and it looks to work.

postgres-operator

# add repo for postgres-operator
helm repo add postgres-operator-charts https://opensource.zalando.com/postgres-operator/charts/postgres-operator

# install the postgres-operator
helm install postgres-operator postgres-operator-charts/postgres-operator

postgres-operator-ui

# add repo for postgres-operator-ui
helm repo add postgres-operator-ui-charts https://opensource.zalando.com/postgres-operator/charts/postgres-operator-ui

# install the postgres-operator-ui
helm install postgres-operator-ui postgres-operator-ui-charts/postgres-ui-operator

[caniko]

Maybe add this to the docs?

Here is the relevant part of my terraform config (main.tf) for anyone interested:

resource "helm_release" "postgres-operator" {
  name = "postgres-operator"
  namespace = var.module_k8_namespace

  repository = "https://opensource.zalando.com/postgres-operator/charts/postgres-operator"
  chart = "postgres-operator"
  version = "1.7.1"
}

resource "helm_release" "postgres-operator-ui" {
  depends_on = [helm_release.postgres-operator]

  name = "postgres-operator-ui"
  namespace = var.module_k8_namespace

  repository = "https://opensource.zalando.com/postgres-operator/charts/postgres-operator-ui"
  chart = "postgres-operator-ui"
  version = "1.7.1"
}

FWIW https://artifacthub.io/packages/olm/community-operators/postgres-operator exists and points to this repo. However it seems to be misconfigured somehow, as it says the latest release was on 2019:

Where exactly can I find the official operator homepage with the latest versions listed?

https://artifacthub.io/packages/helm/postgres-operator-charts/postgres-operator doesn't work
