|
|
| reuse_values | boolean | | Reuse the values from a previous release. |
|
|
| skip_tls_verify | boolean | | Connect to the Kubernetes cluster without checking for a valid TLS certificate. Not recommended in production. |
|
|
|
|
## Uninstallation
|
|
|
|
Uninstallations are triggered when the `helm_command` setting is "uninstall" or "delete." They can also be triggered when the build was triggered by a `delete` Drone event.
|
|
|
|
| Param name | Type | Required | Purpose |
|
|
|------------------------|----------|----------|---------|
|
|
| release | string | yes | The release name for helm to use. |
|
|
| api_server | string | yes | API endpoint for the Kubernetes cluster. |
|
|

|
|
| service_account | string | | Service account for authenticating to Kubernetes. Default is `helm`. |
|
|
| kubernetes_certificate | string | | Base64 encoded TLS certificate used by the Kubernetes cluster's certificate authority. |
|
|
| dry_run | boolean | | Pass `--dry-run` to `helm uninstall`. |
|
|
| timeout | duration | | Timeout for any *individual* Kubernetes operation. The uninstallation's full runtime may exceed this duration. |
|
|

### Where to put settings
|
|
|
|
Any setting (with the exception of `prefix`; [see below](#user-content-using-the-prefix-setting)), can go in either the `settings` or `environment` section.
|
|
|
|
### Formatting non-string values
|
|
|
|
* Booleans can be yaml's `true` and `false` literals or the strings `"true"` and `"false"`.
|
|
* Durations are strings formatted with the syntax accepted by [golang's ParseDuration function](https://golang.org/pkg/time/#ParseDuration) (e.g. 5m30s)
|
|
* List\<string\>s can be a yaml sequence or a comma-separated string.
|
|
|
|
All of the following are equivalent:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
values: "foo=1,bar=2"
|
|
values: ["foo=1", "bar=2"]
|
|
values:
|
|
- foo=1
|
|
- bar=2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that **list members must not contain commas**. Both of the following are equivalent:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
values_files: [ "./over_9,000.yml" ]
|
|
values_files: [ "./over_9", "000.yml" ]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Using the `prefix` setting
|
|
|
|
Because the prefix setting is meta-configuration, it has some inherent edge-cases. Here is what it does in the cases we've thought of:
|
|
|
|
Unlike the other settings, it must be declared in the `settings` block, not `environment`:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
settings:
|
|
prefix: helm # drone-helm3 will look for environment variables called HELM_VARNAME
|
|
environment:
|
|
prefix: armet # no effect
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It does not apply to configuration in the `settings` block, only in `environment`:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
settings:
|
|
prefix: helm
|
|
helm_timeout: 5m # no effect
|
|
environment:
|
|
helm_timeout: 2m # timeout will be 2 minutes
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If the environment contains a variable in non-prefixed form, it will still be applied:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
settings:
|
|
prefix: helm
|
|
environment:
|
|
timeout: 2m # timeout will be 2 minutes
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If the environment contains both the prefixed and non-prefixed forms, drone-helm3 will use the prefixed form:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
settings:
|
|
prefix: helm
|
|
environment:
|
|
timeout: 5m # overridden
|
|
helm_timeout: 2m # timeout will be 2 minutes
|
|
```
