Helm workflows

Monoverse supports Helm charts both as projects and as dependents.

Helm projects

type: helm expects a chart with Chart.yaml and uses version for release detection. On release it updates:

• version to the next CalVer
• appVersion if present

The versioning is similar for both application and library charts.

Helm dependents

Use type: helm when a release should update a chart dependency version.

• path is the chart directory, not Chart.yaml.
• The selector targets the dependency entry in Chart.yaml.

Example:

projects:
  common:
    type: yaml
    manifest_path: charts/common/Chart.yaml
    selector: version
    dependents:
      - type: helm
        path: charts/laravel
        selector: dependencies[name=common].version

Updating Chart.lock

monoverse can run helm dependency update when releasing to update Chart.lock and charts/*.tgz:

monoverse release common --helm-dependency-update

This requires Helm on PATH and may fetch dependencies.
