# Chart releaser action
A GitHub action to turn a GitHub repo into a self-hosted Helm chart repo, using [helm/chart-releaser](https://github.com/helm/chart-releaser) CLI tool.
A GitHub action to turn a GitHub project into a self-hosted Helm chart repo, using [helm/chart-releaser](https://github.com/helm/chart-releaser) CLI tool.
## Usage
### Pre-requisites
1. A GitHub repo containing a directory with your Helm charts (eg: `/charts`)
1. A GitHub token
1. Create a workflow `.yml` file in your `.github/workflows` directory. An [example workflow](#example-workflow) is available below. For more information, reference the GitHub Help Documentation for [Creating a workflow file](https://help.github.com/en/articles/configuring-a-workflow#creating-a-workflow-file).
1. A GitHub project [Secret](https://help.github.com/en/actions/automating-your-workflow-with-github-actions/creating-and-using-encrypted-secrets#creating-encrypted-secrets) named `CR_TOKEN` with the value of a GitHub [personal access token](https://help.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/creating-a-personal-access-token-for-the-command-line#creating-a-token)
* The token must have `repo` scope
* The token's user must have write access to the project
* To mitigate risk you may wish to limit the token to a single project by creating a [machine user](https://developer.github.com/v3/guides/managing-deploy-keys/#machine-users)
* Please note the personal access token is required because of an [Actions bug](https://github.com/JamesIves/github-pages-deploy-action/issues/5), and will hopefully be unnecessary in the future

### Inputs
For more information on these inputs, see the [API Documentation](https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/releases/#input)
For more information on inputs, see the [API Documentation](https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/releases/#input)
- `charts-dir`: The charts directory
- `charts-repo-url`: The GitHub Pages URL to the charts repo (default: `https://<owner>.github.io/<repo>`)
- `charts-repo-url`: The GitHub Pages URL to the charts repo (default: `https://<owner>.github.io/<project>`)
- `token`: The GitHub token
### Example workflow
Create a workflow (eg: .github/workflows/chart-testing.yml see Creating a Workflow file):
Create a workflow (eg: `.github/workflows/release.yml`. replace `<owner>` and `<project>` with your GitHub project's owner and project name):
```yaml
name: chart actions
name: Release Charts
on:
push:
branches:
- master
branches:
- master
jobs:
test:
release:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Checkout
uses: actions/checkout@v1
- name: Configure Git
run: |
git config user.name "GitHub Actions"
git config user.email noreply@github.com
- name: Run chart-releaser
uses: helm/chart-releaser-action@v1
uses: helm/chart-releaser-action@master
env:
CR_TOKEN: "${{ secrets.CR_TOKEN }}"
with:
token: "${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}"
owner: <owner>
repo: <project>
```
This uses [`@helm/chart-releaser-action`](https://www.github.com/helm/chart-releaser-action) to turn a GitHub repo into a self-hosted Helm chart repo. It does this during every push to `master` by checking each chart in your GitHub repo, and whenever there's a new chart version, creates a corresponding [GitHub release](https://help.github.com/en/github/administering-a-repository/about-releases) named for the chart version, adds Helm chart artifacts to the release, and creates or updates an `index.yaml` file with metadata about those releases which is then hosted on GitHub Pages.
