Publish temporal helm chart to a helm chart repository (e. g. Helm Hub)

[markmark206]

Please publish Temporal Helm chart to a helm chart repository (such as Helm Hub), so it is easier to install it.

Brought to our attention by Kyle, thank you!

[sagikazarmark]

Helm hub is not actually a chart repository, and it's being replaced by Artifact Hub

For simplicity, I'd consider making this repository a helm chart repository using the chart releaser action: https://github.com/helm/chart-releaser-action

Hi @sagikazarmark , any news for this github as chart repo ?

[loopingrage]

Maybe poke the Bitnami folks to take it on?

[joebowbeer]

This would be greatly appreciated, and should be easy to resolve.

The simplest approach is to use the chart-releaser-action:

https://github.com/helm/chart-releaser-action

This requires a gh-pages branch to hold the published charts.

After publishing, the temporalio helm repo can be added via:

helm repo add temporalio http://temporalio.github.io/helm-charts

LocalStack publishes their chart here:

https://github.com/localstack/helm-charts/blob/main/.github/workflows/chart-release.yaml

Their helm repo is: http://localstack.github.io/helm-charts

I forked and published from https://github.com/joebowbeer/temporalio-helm-charts

helm repo add temporalio https://joebowbeer.github.com/temporalio-helm-charts

I created a pull_request, which should fix this issue.

[loopingrage]

Ay update here? Seems like a simple thing to do that would save the community a bunch of time and confusion.

[abatilo]

Bump. Hard to seriously consider this project until there's an easy way to install this chart

[hazcod]

Pinging.

[ErlanBelekov]

Any updates on this?

[hazcod]

This should be an easy fix so really looking to a quick fix here.

Some references for anyone else coming along this path:

• Publish temporal chart #147
• Publish helm charts repo via GitHub pages #229
• [Feature Request] Split out dependencies from chart and create separate dev chart with dependencies #189

Looking forward seeing to this progress

Any update on this?

[arthosdevelops]

Are there any updates on this?

[phudtran]

Having this published would also be very helpful for me as well!

[gajus]

Annoying that this is something that would take Temporal team a minute to setup, meanwhile forces everyone else to spend days searching for workarounds.

[gajus]

Here is a step by step guide on how to do it:

Adding another +1 that an officially supported published chart would be nice..!

[laertispappas]

Any update here?

[lerminou]

The most asked functionality and the simplest 😒

[ukd1]

Is this project dead?

[smartinov]

Oh lord, it's been years! Is there any way of implementing this? People offered support and examples everywhere!

[gajus]

Seriously, save yourself time and write your own Helm chart.

Took me one afternoon, ... while before this I've spent weeks debugging issues with Temporal provided Helm chart.

[froblesmartin]

A similar issue exists, it would be better to close one so that there is a single place to comment on the Helm chart publication
#229

[vishwa-trulioo]

If you (Temporal) want people to use their product you must spend bandwidth on action items like this. The fact that it was not addressed for years show how unreliable they are.

[aisac-clearstreet]

Hit the same issue. This is my workaround ...
Copy contents of the release you want into a folder (the the example folder is named 1.20.3) and place helmfile outside
with the following contents...

repositories:
  - name: stable
    url: https://charts.helm.sh/stable
  - name: incubator
    url: https://charts.helm.sh/incubator
  - name: prometheus
    url: https://prometheus-community.github.io/helm-charts
  - name: elastic
    url: https://helm.elastic.co
  - name: grafana
    url: https://grafana.github.io/helm-charts

releases:
  - name: temporal
    namespace: temporal
    chart: ./1.20.3
    version: "1.20.3"
    values:
    - "1.20.3/values.yaml"

Not sure if you considered Github Pages as a possible solution, but Prefect is currently using it in case you need an example:

[samm-git]

out of curiosity - what is preventing you from adding few lines to pipeline to publish helm to the pages?

[djnalluri]

An alternative could be to use Github's Container Registry as suggested in #388. A drawback of Helm's repository format is that an index.yaml would need to be created and maintained. A benefit of pushing to an OCI registry is an index is no longer required for clients to locate the exact chart archive file given the repository's URL. Helm has had non-experimental OCI support for a year and a half now so I would imagine it's still accessible to most users.

I ended up using https://github.com/alexandrevilain/temporal-operator, and it's been working pretty well tbh.

[YannickZ]

any news regarding this ? 😞

[empeekdev]

Three years and they still didn’t publish official chart somewhere, this is insane

[wbar]

Any updates on this ?

[gajus]

They are providing a cloud service so their incentive for making it easy for others to host is pretty low.

Just use https://github.com/alexandrevilain/temporal-operator. It is well maintained.
