Helmfile: How can i set release version to many releases with template?

[caxalex]

I have the template for releases:

  default: &default
    chart: "stable/{{ .Release.Name }}"
    version: ""
    wait: true
    installed: true
    missingFileHandler: Warn
    values:
    - values/{{ .Release.Name }}/base.yaml
    - values/{{ .Release.Name }}/{{ .Environment.Name }}.yaml

I have list of releases:

- name: "external-dns"
  <<: *default
- name: "metrics-server"
  <<: *default
- name: "prometheus-adapter"
  <<: *default

How can i create list with name of release and version of helm chart and include in template?.
look like:

versions:
  external-dns: "1.3.0"
  metrics-server: "2.1.0"
  prometheus-adapter: ""

Hey!

First of all areate a versions.yaml containing:

versions:
  external-dns: "1.3.0"
  metrics-server: "2.1.0"
  prometheus-adapter: ""

In your helmfile.yaml you should remove version: "" from the default template and explicitly define version in each release like:

values:
- versions.yaml

#snip

- name: "external-dns"
  version: {{.Values.versions | get "external-dns"}}
  <<: *default
- name: "metrics-server"
  version: {{.Values.versions | get "metrics-server"}}
  <<: *default
- name: "prometheus-adapter"
  version: {{.Values.versions | get "prometheus-adapter" }}
  <<: *default

Hope this works for you.

while that works great, could this be extended further to use {{ .Release.Name }}?

default: &default chart: "stable/{{ .Release.Name }}" version: {{.Values.versions | get "{{ .Release.Name }}" }}
