The charts are build, linted and tested on every push to the main branch. If the chart version
(in Chart.yaml) changes a new github release with the corresponding packaged helm chart is
created. The charts are hosted via github pages and use the release artifacts. We use the
chart-releaser-action to release the charts.
We are trying to automate as much as possible of the release process and the release process is almost fully automated. Only 1 manual step is needed.
When everything is looks good and we are ready for a new release just do the following:
Use make to bump the charts version and make git commit locally:
make bump-chart-version-and-commit
View the changes to make sure everything as expected:
git log -p
When everything is good, just push to the main branch and watch the release progress.
The release notes are automatically generated by the release workflow and used for both GitHub Releases and Artifact Hub.
Note
The release notes depend on git commit log, only the commits that follow Keep a Changelog will be added to the release notes.
Camunda repo is already configured on Artifact Hub. Once the release workflow is done, Artifact Hub automatically scans Camunda Helm repo and the new release will show on Artifact Hub.
Note
The charts could take some time till shown on Artifact Hub (up to 30 min). But we sharing our Helm chart on Artifact Hub just for visibility. After successful release, our Helm charts are immediately available via Camunda Helm Repo.
