helm-charts

This is our mono repository that contains all of our proxy charts.

Adding a Helm chart

If you would like to add a new service or Helm chart in general to this repository, please follow these steps carefully.

1. Add a new folder to the charts/ directory named after your Helm chart.
2. Inside this new folder, add a chart/ folder and put your Helm chart in there
3. Next to this new chart/ folder, add a README.md file and document the chart
4. It is important that you have a values.yaml file in the chart/ folder, even if it is empty, since the linter will otherwise fail
5. If you have any dependencies from a new helm repo that is not currently on the list in the follow files, you need to add it to the lists in the following files:
   1. /.github/configs/ct-install.yaml under the "chart-repos" section
   2. /.github/configs/ct-lint.yaml under the "chart-repos" section
   3. /.github/workflows/publish.yaml under the step "Add dependency chart repos"

Building docker images

To include a docker container and have it build and push to the local image registry on github, do the following:

1. In the folder of your service, create a container/ folder
2. Place your Dockerfile in the container/ folder so it will be placed at helm-charts/charts/<your-service>/container/Dockerfile
3. Your docker image version will be the same version as your Helm chart, so remember to bump the Helm chart version when you want to update your Dockerfile

Note: Since development is dependent on this feature being implemented, in the first implementation, any push to main will trigger all Dockerfiles to be built. This will be changed in a later version so only the changed Dockerfiles are rebuilt.
