ChartRepo

ChartRepo represents a helm repository, where helm client can retrieve and upload helm charts. The definition is quite simple, For example, the most simplest ones is :

apiVersion: app.alauda.io/v1alpha1
kind: ChartRepo
metadata:
  name: stable
  namespace: captain
spec:
  url: https://kubernetes-charts.storage.googleapis.com

• metadata.name: the name of this repo
• metadata.namespace: Captain will only read ChartRepo resources from one namespace, default to captain, and can be customized in helm values (.namespace)
• spec.url: the url of this repo

After created, we can use kubectl to checkout the repo list

root@VM-16-12-ubuntu:/home/ubuntu# kubectl get ctr -n captain
NAME     URL                                                PHASE    AGE
stable   https://kubernetes-charts.storage.googleapis.com   Synced   21m

The output is very similar to helm repo list.

Basic Auth

Of course ,many repos need auth support. Currently, ChartRepo has support basic auth by specify a secret resource in the spec:

apiVersion: app.alauda.io/v1alpha1
kind: ChartRepo
metadata:
  name: new
  namespace: captain
spec:
  url: <url>
  secret:
    name: new

• spec.secret.name: name of the secret
• spec.secret.namespace: namespace of the secret, an optional field, default to the same namespace as ChartRepo

Then, all you need is a secret which contains username and password data:

apiVersion: v1
data:
  password: MndiNEUxaXlkUmo3
  username: N0RPOVFvTHREeDFn
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: new
  namespace: captain
type: Opaque
