Loki: Host Helm Chart in a repository

[JamesLaverack]

Right now if you want to deploy using the Helm chart method you have to clone the Loki repo and access the chart locally.

Helm provides a mechanism to install helm charts without needing to clone their source, called chart repositories. This would allow a user to deploy Loki like this:

helm repo add grafana <REPO-URL>
helm install grafana/loki --name loki --namespace <YOUR-NAMESPACE>

+1.

Also, you can register the repo with hub.helm.sh so that users can more easily find it.

@kfox1111 hi, i saw grafana helm repo is stable/grafana, but i do not find any setting in stable part in hub.helm.sh, is somewhere wrong?

[kfox1111]

showed up for me: https://hub.helm.sh/charts/stable/grafana

[kfox1111]

How do we move this forward?

Is there any ci currently? I helped the ceph-csi folks get into hub.helm.sh recently. Willing to help a bit get this going.

The helm guys providing some tooling for this now too: https://github.com/helm/chart-releaser

I also require this as I would like to deploy loki with https://github.com/weaveworks/flux/

@kfox1111 do you have time to do this? Or i feel free to do this.

@daixiang0 go for it. The chart posted to helm/charts looks pretty good. A couple comments on the pr. Thanks for working on it.

[daixiang0]

@davkal about this comment, is there any progress, willing to do it.

[davkal]

We decided to host the chart ourselves. Still deciding next steps...

Happy to close it. Thanks for your contribution @steven-sheehy

[kfox1111]

One more thing before closing. Can someone submit the repo to hub.helm.sh?

[steven-sheehy]

That's already done: https://github.com/helm/hub/pull/64

[kfox1111]
