🛠️ Integration with FluxCD

Integrating Helm Safely with FluxCD ensures that your deployments are secure and reliable. Follow these steps to configure your FluxCD HelmRelease to use Helm Safely.

1. Update the FluxCD HelmRelease Manifest​

Modify your FluxCD HelmRelease manifest to point to the Helm Safely URL. You can use Helm's b64enc function within the HelmRelease manifest to encode the repository URL directly. Here's an example:

apiVersion: helm.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v2beta1
kind: HelmRelease
metadata:
  name: prom-stack
  namespace: monitoring
spec:
  chart:
    spec:
      chart: kube-prometheus-stack
      sourceRef:
        kind: HelmRepository
        name: prom-stack-repo
        namespace: flux-system
      version: "62.3.1"
  interval: 5m
  install:
    createNamespace: true
  values:
    # Add any custom values here
---
apiVersion: source.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v1beta1
kind: HelmRepository
metadata:
  name: prom-stack-repo
  namespace: flux-system
spec:
  url: https://helm-safely.com/repo/{{ b64enc "https://prometheus-community.github.io/helm-charts" }}/kube-prometheus-stack/62.3.1/index.yaml
  interval: 10m

2. Verify the Deployment​

Once the HelmRelease is created, FluxCD will manage the deployment using the Helm Safely repository. You can verify the deployment status using FluxCD's CLI:

flux get helmreleases -n monitoring
