Run Helmsman in CI

You can run Helmsman as a job in your CI system using the helmsman docker image. The following example is a config.yml file for CircleCI but can be replicated for other CI systems.

version: 2
jobs:

    deploy-apps:
      docker:
        - image: ghcr.io/mkubaczyk/helmsman:latest
      steps:
        - checkout
        - run:
            name: Deploy Helm Packages using helmsman
            command: helmsman --apply -f helmsman-deployments.toml


workflows:
  version: 2
  build:
    jobs:
      - deploy-apps

IMPORTANT: If your CI build logs are publicly readable, don't use the --verbose together with --debug flags as logs any secrets being passed from env vars to the helm charts.

The helmsman-deployments.toml is your desired state file which will version controlled in your git repo.
