helmfile destroy fails, needs concurrency flag

[Morriz]

A global helmfile destroy gives errors for some charts. If I destroy them one after the other with helmfile -l name=$release destroy I see no errors.

I suspect something is conflicting because of the attempted concurrency, and therefor I would like the destroy command to also honour --concurrency=1.

@Morriz Hey! Mind sharing the error message you saw?

[Morriz]

Yeah, this is what I get (not revealing anything):

I don't see what is going wrong in the tiller-plugin on that line 114 or 128

[Morriz]

Yeah, it seems the plugin tries to stop the local tiller but others processes are using it of course.

[Morriz]

so please add --concurrency flag ;)

[mumoshu]

@Morriz Ah, that seems like the current restriction of the helm-tiller integration #449

Tiller needs two or three ports to bind, grpc, metrics, and optionally trace ports. The error seems to be due to that grpc and metrics ports are conflicting across tiller instances. So yes, the shortterm solution would be to add --concurrency :) Ok

[Morriz]

tnx....it would be nicer if the plugin would allow for concurrency...I will create a request for that

[mumoshu]

@Morriz Please try #691!

[Morriz]

I would love to, but where can I find the master binary?

[mumoshu]

Just grab the latest binary from github releases.

[Morriz]

0.77 works great now...mega tnx for the quick update!

[mumoshu]

Glad to help! Thanks for your confirmation
