Gradle Helm Plugin

This is a suite of Gradle plugins for building, publishing and managing Helm charts.

Features

  • Gradle task types for common Helm CLI commands

  • Build, package and publish Helm charts using a declarative Gradle DSL

  • Resolve placeholders like ${chartVersion} from chart source files before packaging

  • Resolve dependencies between charts using Gradle artifact dependencies

Requirements

  • Gradle 5.1 or higher

  • JDK 1.8 or higher (for running Gradle)

  • Helm command-line client

Quick Start

Apply the org.unbroken-dome.helm plugin to your Gradle project:

build.gradle
plugins {
  id 'org.unbroken-dome.helm' version '0.4.4'
}

Put your Helm chart sources into src/main/helm:

📂 (project root)
    📂 src
        📂 main
            📂 helm
                📂 templates
                    📄 ...
                📄 Chart.yaml
                📄 requirements.yaml
                📄 values.yaml

Use the helmPackage task to build your chart.
