Helm repository

[Ruslan Shevchenko]

Hello

We need use bitbucket repository for helm repository.

So we have Private bitbucket repository. I created App Password and try to add Bitbuket repository to helm and got the following issue:

# helm repo add helmstore https://ruslanshevchenko:<app_password>@bitbucket.org/ruslanshevchenko/affiliates/raw/master/
Error: Looks like "https://ruslanshevchenko:<app_password>@bitbucket.org/ruslanshevchenko/affiliates/raw/master/" is not a valid chart repository or cannot be reached: Failed to fetch https://ruslanshevchenko:<app_password>@bitbucket.org/ruslanshevchenko/affiliates/raw/master/index.yaml : 403 Forbidden

Can you provide manual how to correct add Bitbucket repo to helm.

Thank you.

Hi! @Ruslan Shevchenko any upate on this?
I'm also trying to get a private bitbucket repository working as Helm repository.

Currently it seems, that it is not possible.

The only way I've found to access raw files is via API:

curl -s -S --user {USER}:{APP-PASSWORD} -L -O https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/{USER|ORGANISATION}/{REPOSITORY}/src/{BRANCH}/{PATH-AND-FILENAME}

Hi!

I think that's the correct way right now.

helm repo add {REPONAME} https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/{USER|ORGANISATION}/{REPOSITORY}/src/master/ --username {USER} --password {APP-PASSWORD}

Above line is working fine for me. Just make sure that charts.yaml is in the root directory of your repository.

what URL are you passing when you create the index? 

{code}
helm repo index --url <my repo URL}

{code}

I just created a new repository. Then:

cd {PATH_TO_REPOSITORY}
mkdir charts
helm package {PATH_TO_CHART_1} --destination charts
helm package {PATH_TO_CHART_2} --destination charts
...
helm package {PATH_TO_CHART_N} --destination charts
helm repo index
git add charts index.yaml
git commit -m 'initial commit'
git push

EDIT: I don't use this anymore, I have switched over to Azure Container Registry. The helm part is still in preview, though.

[Jürgen_Weber]

yeah, the making is the easy part.

Try using it. helm3 spits it back out.

[Josef Schabasser]

Sorry, I never tried it with helm v3. Back then I used helm v2 because helm v3 was in beta state and it worked fine. As I mentioned before, I moved on to Azure Container Registry, which supports helm repositories in preview (helm v2 and v3, but no git shorthash in chart versions).

@Josef Schabasser 

helm repo add {REPONAME} https://api.bitbucket.org/2.0/repositories/{USER|ORGANISATION}/{REPOSITORY}/src/master/ --username {USER} --password {APP-PASSWORD}

Thanks for updating the solution for helm repo add via using an app password.
I was looking for a solution from the last week. Finally, I got it.

[Ruslan Shevchenko]

But if I did git clone - all works fine.

403 implies that the application password you're using here doesn't have the correct access for that repository.

But if I did git clone - all works fine.
