I am trying to package a helm chart on my CI server without having to helm init
docker run --rm -v "$PWD":/tmp/src/ -w /tmp/src/ alpine/helm helm package ./charts
docker run --rm -v "$PWD":/tmp/src/ -w /tmp/src/ alpine/helm helm init --client-only && helm package ./charts
The above do not work can anyone help! i thought this would be a common request the ability to create a helm package without the .kube folder or access to a cluster
You might want to look into the helm-maven-plugin
Basically you can use Maven to get the same result, and should be able to do it from most CI software.
