Login to CNB Helm Artifact Registry

CNB Helm only supports Helm artifacts in OCI format. It is recommended to use Helm v3.8.0 or above. For details, please refer to the Helm documentation.

You can use CNB access token as login credentials, login command:

helm registry login helm.cnb.cool -u cnb -p {token-value}

Helm Artifact Path Rules

When publishing artifacts to a repository, two naming rules are supported:

1. Same-name artifacts - Artifact path matches repository path, e.g.: helm.cnb.cool/{repository-path}
2. Different-name artifacts - Repository path serves as namespace for artifacts, artifact path = repository path/artifact name, e.g.: helm.cnb.cool/{repository-path}/{artifact-name}

Note: When using helm push remote, the chart name does not appear in the remote-url, but is read from the chart.

Therefore, for same-name artifacts, the remote-url is helm.cnb.cool/{group-path}, and for different-name artifacts, the remote-url is helm.cnb.cool/{repository-path}.

Pushing Artifacts

Local Push

Same-name artifacts

# chart name must match repository name
helm package chart-path
helm push chartname-version.tgz oci://helm.cnb.cool/{group-path}

Different-name artifacts

helm package chart-path
helm push chartname-version.tgz oci://helm.cnb.cool/{repository-path}

Push in Cloud Native Build

main:
  push:
    - docker:
        image: alpine/helm
      stages:
