Kubebuilder Helm Plugin

Note: This project is alpha and not intended for production use. It is likely missing features.

helm.kubebuilder.armsnyder.com is a config plugin for Kubebuilder that scaffolds a Helm chart for an operator project. This is an alternative to the default kustomize.common.kubebuilder.io plugin.

Usage

Kubebuilder version 3 only supports plugins compiled into the CLI. External plugin support is coming in a future Kubebuilder release. To use the helm.kubebuilder.armsnyder.com plugin, you can use the included kubebuilderhelm command or compile your own CLI.

Using kubebuilderhelm

To install the latest version of kubebuilderhelm into your GOBIN:

go install github.com/armsnyder/kubebuilder-helm-plugin/cmd/kubebuilderhelm@latest

Then use kubebuilderhelm in place of kubebuilder.

kubebuilderhelm init

Custom CLI Example

For full flexibility of which plugins are included in the CLI, you can build your own CLI and include this plugin.

package main

import (
	"log"

	helmv1 "github.com/armsnyder/kubebuilder-helm-plugin/pkg/helm/v1"
	"sigs.k8s.io/kubebuilder/v3/pkg/cli"
)

func main() {
	c, err := cli.New(cli.WithPlugins(helmv1.New()))
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	err = c.Run()
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
}
