Unable to deploy the helm3 charts from azure container registery

Hi @basavarajb it looks like Azure's container registry supports Helm charts via OCI, which is currently an experimental feature of Helm. You could try enabling it by setting export HELM_EXPERIMENTAL_OCI=1 in your environment.

yes i executed command on windows 10 set HELM_EXPERIMENTAL_OCI=1

is my below code correct while getting the chart form acr

resource "helm_release" "example" {
  name       = "shopingcart"
   chart      = "https://xxxxxxx.azurecr.io/helm/shopingcart:v1"
  values     = [local.helm_chart_values]
}

Having the same issue on Linux with HELM_EXPERIMENTAL_OCI=1.

However, it is really hard to get actual feedback on what is happening when trying to download the chart. Even if I were to enter a totally wrong repository like :

resource "helm_release" "buildkit" {
  name 		 = "buildkit"
  repository = "zing.buzz.io"
  chart      = "buildkit-chart"
}

The feedback will still remain :

No additional details seems to be provided, even with TF_LOG=TRACE.

If I were to do the same with Helm, I would get some basic feedback that could orient me in the right direction:

So it may be that OCI is not supported at all with helm_release, or we are entering URLs that do not fit what is expected and fails continuously what that same error message.

Either way, I am guessing this is a problem for both ACR and ECR users. Would love to know if anyone found a workaround

I'm also running into this issue in Azure ACR, can anyone confirm if the Terraform Helm provider supports installing Helm charts from an OCI repository?

It is not clear at all if the ACR is supported or what the format of the url should look like:

resource "helm_release" "nginx-acr-private" {
name = "ingress-nginx"
chart = "ingress-nginx"
repository = "https://xxxxxxxxxxxxx.azurecr.io/helm/nginx:v1"
repository_username = var.acr_admin_username
repository_password = var.acr_admin_password
}
