The syntax for adding a dependency to a helm 3 chart looks like this (inside of chart.yaml).
How can you specify a release name if you need multiple instances of a dependency?
apiVersion: v2
name: shared
description: Ingress Controller and Certificate Manager
type: application
version: 0.1.1
appVersion: 0.1.0
dependencies:
- name: cert-manager
version: ~0.13
repository: https://charts.jetstack.io In the CLI it's just helm upgrade -i RELEASE_NAME CHART_NAME -n NAMESPACE But inside of Chart.yaml the option to specify a release seems to be missing.
The next question I have is if there's a weird way to do it, how would you write the values for each instance in the values.yaml file?
After 5 more minutes of searching I found that there's an alias field that can be added, like so:
dependencies:
- name: cert-manager
alias: first-one
version: ~0.13
repository: https://charts.jetstack.io
- name: cert-manager
alias: second-one
version: ~0.13
repository: https://charts.jetstack.io And in the values.yaml file
first-one:
# values go here
second-one:
# values go hereReference https://helm.sh/docs/topics/charts/#the-chartyaml-file
Using cert-manager is just an example, I can't think of a use-case that would need two instances of that particular chart. I'm hoping to use it for brigade projects
