Helm charts in the Package Registry (FREE)

Introduced in GitLab 14.1.

Publish Helm packages in your project's Package Registry. Then install the packages whenever you need to use them as a dependency.

For documentation of the specific API endpoints that Helm package manager clients use, see the Helm API documentation.

Build a Helm package

Read more in the Helm documentation about these topics:

Authenticate to the Helm repository

To authenticate to the Helm repository, you need either:

Publish a package

NOTE: You can publish Helm charts with duplicate names or versions. If duplicates exist, GitLab always returns the chart with the latest version.

Once built, a chart can be uploaded to the stable channel with curl or helm-push:

With curl:

curl --request POST \
     --form 'chart=@mychart-0.1.0.tgz' \
     --user <username>:<personal_access_token> \
     https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/1/packages/helm/api/stable/charts

With the helm-push plugin:

helm repo add --username <username> --password <personal_access_token> project-1 https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/1/packages/helm/stable
helm push mychart-0.1.0.tgz project-1

Use CI/CD to publish a Helm package

To publish a Helm package automated through GitLab CI/CD, you can use CI_JOB_TOKEN in place of the personal access token in your commands.

For example:

image: curlimages/curl:latest
 
stages:
  - upload
 
upload:
  stage: upload
  script:
    - 'curl --request POST --user gitlab-ci-token:$CI_JOB_TOKEN --form "chart=@mychart-0.1.0.tgz" "${CI_API_V4_URL}/projects/${CI_PROJECT_ID}/packages/helm/api/stable/charts"'

Install a package

To install the latest version of a chart, use the following command:

helm repo add --username <username> --password <personal_access_token> project-1 https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/1/packages/helm/stable
helm install my-release project-1/mychart

If the repo has previously been added, you may need to run:

helm repo update

To update the Helm client with the most currently available charts.

See Using Helm for more information.

Troubleshooting

The chart is not visible in the Package Registry after uploading

Check the Sidekiq log for any related errors. If you see Validation failed: Version is invalid, it means that the version in your Chart.yaml file does not follow Helm Chart versioning specifications. To fix the error, use the correct version syntax and upload the chart again.
