Drone plugin for Helm3.

Helm Version: 3.11.1
Kubectl Version: 1.25.8

Example:

- name: deploy app
  image: ghcr.io/bitsbeats/drone-helm3:latest
  settings:
    kube_api_server: kube.example.com
    kube_token: { from_secret: kube_token }

    chart: ./path-to/chart
    release: release-name
    namespace: namespace-name
    timeout: 20m
    helm_repos:
      - bitnami=https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami
    envsubst: true
    values:
      - app.environment=awesome
      - app.tag=${DRONE_TAG/v/}
      - app.commit=${DRONE_COMMIT_SHA}

Note: If you enable envsubst make sure to surrount your variables like ${variable}, $variable will not work.

An always up2date version of the availible config options can be viewed on the source on the Config struct here.

Its possible to monitor your builds and rollbacks using prometheus and prometheus-pushgateway. To enable specify the pushgateway_url setting.

Example alertrule:

          - alert: Helm3RolloutFailed
            expr: |
              drone_helm3_build_status{status!="success"}
            labels:
              severity: critical
            annotations:
              summary: >-
                Helm3 was unable to deploy {{ $labels.repo }} as
                {{ $labels.release }} into namespace {{ $labels.namespace }}
              action: >-
                Validate the `deploy` step of the last drone ci run for this
                repository. Either the build has *failed entirely* or the
                `helm test` did fail. For more information on tests see
                https://github.com/bitsbeats/drone-helm3/#monitoring

Helm tests are special Pods that have the "helm.sh/hook": test annotation set. If the command in the docker container returns an exitcode > 0 the drone step will be marked as failed. See the Helm documentation.

In addition you can set the test_rollback setting to run helm rollback if the tests fail.

The post_kustomization allows to modify helm charts with customize. See here for the official documentation. The resources field is set via the plugin.

Example:

post_kustomization: |
  patches:
    - patch: |
        - op: remove
          path: /spec/template/spec/securityContext
        - op: remove
          path: /spec/template/spec/containers/0/securityContext
      target:
        kind: StatefulSet
        labelSelector:
          app.kubernetes.io/name=opensearch
