🙌 Seeking Your Feedback on New Helm Chart Plugin for Project Distribution
Camila Macedo
Hi Everyone,
One of the features requested by our community is the ability to encapsulate Kubebuilder projects within a Helm chart, simplifying distribution for developers.
🚀 Currently, developers using Kubebuilder can distribute their solutions by running:
make build-installer
This generates a bundle with all required YAML files in dist/installer.yaml. From there, you can create releases and guide users to install your solution with a simple command like:
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/<org>/<project-name>/<tag or branch>/dist/install.yaml
For reference, here’s an example:
🚀 With the new Helm Plugin, users will be able to streamline this process even further. By running:
kubebuilder edit --plugins=helm/v1-alpha
developers will be able to scaffold a Helm chart, making it easier to share and deploy their projects.
We’d love your feedback on this initiative!
