Push charts and their provenance files¶

You can use the MSR API or the Helm CLI to push Helm charts and their provenance files to an MSR Helm repository.

Note

Pushing and pulling Helm charts can be done with or without a provenance file.

Pushing charts with the MSR API¶

Using the MSR API, you can push Helm charts with application/octet-stream or multipart/form-data.

Pushing with application/octet-stream¶

To push a Helm chart through the MSR API with application/octet-stream:

curl -H "Content-Type:application/octet-stream" --data-binary "@<chartname>-<chartversion>.tgz" https://<msrhost>/charts/api/<namespace>/<reponame>/charts -u <username>:<password> --cacert ca.crt

Pushing with multipart/form-data¶

To push a Helm chart through the MSR API with multipart/form-data:

curl -F "chart=@<chartname>-<chartversion>.tgz" https://<msrhost>/charts/api/<namespace>/<reponame>/charts -u <username>:<password> --cacert ca.crt

Force pushing a chart¶

To overwrite an existing chart, turn off repository immutability and include a ?force query parameter in the HTTP request.

Navigate to Repositories and click the Settings tab.
Under Immutability, select Off.

To force push a Helm chart using the MSR API:

curl -H "Content-Type:application/octet-stream" --data-binary "@<chartname>-<chartversion>.tgz" "https://<msrhost>/charts/api/<namespace>/<reponame>/charts?force" -u <username>:<password> --cacert ca.crt

Pushing provenance files with the MSR API¶

You can use the MSR API to separately push provenance files related to Helm charts.

To push a provenance file through the MSR API:

curl -H "Content-Type:application/json" --data-binary "@<chartname>-<chartversion>.tgz.prov" https://<msrhost>/charts/api/<namespace>/<reponame>/prov -u <username>:<password> --cacert ca.crt

Note

Attempting to push a provenance file for a nonexistent chart will result in an error.

Force pushing a provenance file¶

To force push a provenance file using the MSR API:

curl -H "Content-Type:application/json" --data-binary "@<chartname>-<chartversion>.tgz.prov" "https://<msrhost>/charts/api/<namespace>/<reponame>/prov?force" -u <username>:<password> --cacert ca.crt

Pushing a chart and its provenance file with a single API request¶

To push a Helm chart and a provenance file with a single API request:

curl -k -F "chart=@<chartname>-<chartversion>.tgz" -F "prov=@<chartname>-<chartversion>.tgz.prov" https://msrhost/charts/api/<namespace>/<reponame>/charts -u <username>:<password> --cacert ca.crt

Force pushing a chart and a provenance file¶

To force push both a Helm chart and a provenance file using a single API request:

curl -k -F "chart=@<chartname>-<chartversion>.tgz" -F "prov=@<chartname>-<chartversion>.tgz.prov" "https://<msrhost>/charts/api/<namespace>/<reponame>/charts?force" -u <username>:<password> --cacert ca.crt

Pushing charts with the Helm CLI¶

Note

To push a Helm chart using the Helm CLI, first install the helm push plugin from chartmuseum/helm-push. It is not possible to push a provenance file using the Helm CLI.

Use the helm push CLI command to push a Helm chart:

helm push <chartname>-<chartversion>.tgz <reponame> --username <username> --password <password> --ca-file ca.crt

Force pushing a chart¶

Use the helm push CLI command with the --force option to force push a Helm chart:

helm push <chartname>-<chartversion>.tgz <reponame> --username <username> --password <password> --ca-file ca.crt --force
