Hi,

How do we configure the reposync "reconciler" to use a proxy to pull a helm chart?

Do we basically have to edit the reconciler-manager configmap (deployment yaml) and provide an env variable or an argument?

Second question: what is the easiest way to disable the otel-agent (besides scaling down the otel-collector) ?

Thank you in advance.

Laurent

Hi,

We have a guide for using Kustomize with Helm https://cloud.google.com/anthos-config-management/docs/tutorials/config-sync-helm.

To disable the otel-agent (or to pause the metric exporting if I understood you correctly), you can follow this guide to tweak or remove the pipelines. Out of my curiosity - could you share the intention? Thanks!

Thank you!

I am working with Nokia and experimenting with the nephio tool chain (kpt, porch & config-sync) on a local cluster (not GKE) and therefore access to the internet goes through our corporate proxy.

I've been able to reproduce some of the ACM samples like the quickstart mono & multirepo but when trying the kustomize+helm with cert-manager I am getting an error because the hydration-controller doesn't have the proper proxy environment variables. See https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/kpt-config-sync/issues/74 for details. The guide https://cloud.google.com/anthos-config-management/docs/tutorials/config-sync-helm covers configuring the git proxy but not for helm.

I'll check the guide for the otel custom collector - this will help reduce the load on my dev cluster.

If you could tell me how to patch the reconciler-manager configmap that would solve my first problem above.

Thanks.

Hi Laurent,

Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, Config Sync doesn't support pulling Helm charts through proxy yet.

Config Sync added a first-party Helm spec in the RootSync/RepoSync API recently. The plan is to add the proxy support through the new Helm spec in the next release.

We will keep you posted once the feature is implemented.
