Drone plugin for Helm 3

This plugin provides an interface between Drone and Helm 3:

Lint your charts
Deploy your service
Delete your service

The plugin is inpsired by drone-helm, which fills the same role for Helm 2. It provides a comparable feature-set and the configuration settings are backwards-compatible.

Example configuration

The examples below give a minimal and sufficient configuration for each use-case. For a full description of each command's settings, see docs/parameter_reference.md.

Linting

steps:
  - name: lint
    image: pelotech/drone-helm3
    settings:
      helm_command: lint
      chart: ./

Installation

steps:
  - name: deploy
    image: pelotech/drone-helm3
    settings:
      helm_command: upgrade
      chart: ./
      release: my-project
    environment:
      API_SERVER: https://my.kubernetes.installation/clusters/a-1234
      KUBERNETES_TOKEN:
        from_secret: kubernetes_token

Uninstallation

steps:
  - name: uninstall
    image: pelotech/drone-helm3
    settings:
      helm_command: uninstall
      release: my-project
    environment:
      API_SERVER: https://my.kubernetes.installation/clusters/a-1234
      KUBERNETES_TOKEN:
        from_secret: kubernetes_token

Upgrading from drone-helm

drone-helm3 is largely backwards-compatible with drone-helm. There are some known differences:

You'll need to migrate the deployments in the cluster helm-v2-to-helm-v3
prefix must be supplied via the settings block, not environment.
Several settings no longer have any effect:
- purge -- this is the default behavior in Helm 3
- recreate_pods
- tiller_ns
- upgrade
- canary_image
- client_only
- stable_repo_url

Since helm 3 does not require Tiller, we also recommend switching to a service account with less-expansive permissions.
