Is there any known Java API to use Kubernetes helm (something like the great KubernetesClient from fabric8)? I am trying to initial helm commands from Java but I couldn't find anything that actually works...
Thanks, Nir
I've written microbean-helm. This project:
.proto files from the Helm project…The end result is that Tiller, the server-side component of Helm that does all the heavy lifting like chart installation, etc., is addressable and drivable from Java. I am guessing that that is what you really want.
You may follow along at its Github repository.
we've not created a Java API for helm yet on the fabric8 team.
The simplest thing is probably to just use the helm binary for now from your $PATH (or from a docker container if you're using Jenkins Pipeline).
BTW the fabric8 maven plugin supports generating helm charts: https://maven.fabric8.io/#fabric8:helm
You can then apply the helm chart via the command line:
mvn install
helm install target/fabric8/helm/kubernetes/myapp
