allow concurrency

[Morriz]

It is currently not possible to run concurrent helm tiller run -- helm ... commands. Any idea if that will be possible in the future? Right now I am using helmfile which can't deploy multiple charts simultaneously, nor delete them concurrently.

I would recommend to run concurrent helm tiller run -- helm ... commands in docker containers, as making it in the plugin is out of the scope.

[Morriz]

Does that address my reported issue about concurrency? Are you suggesting multiple spun up docker containers executing commands concurrently is possible without conflicts? Then I can suggest the author of helmfile @mumoshu to do just that.

[rimusz]

if you don't do multiple releases from at the same time for the same helm release, everything will be fine

[Morriz]

great...that means concurrency is possible...why not from the plugin? why is that out of scope?

[rimusz]

as you need to run helm + pluggin per container

Isn't it because helm tiller run -- helm ... always uses a constant port for running tiller? If each helm tiller run would run tiller on a random port, then this problem would be solved I think. I can't even run helm tiller start-ci && helmfile apply in one window and helm tiller run -- helm status my-app in another window because the helm tiller run kills the start-ci server as well at the time of exit.

as I mentioned before to get to concurrency run helm+tiller in the container.

Helm v3 is under way (very well back compatible with v2) and beta is already available that will make this plugin obsolete soon.

closing this one, as Helm v3 does not have such issues
