feat(helm): publish chart to OCI registry on release#3508
Merged
Conversation
Add OCI publishing step to the helm-release workflow so the chart is available at oci://ghcr.io/tektoncd/operator/charts/tekton-operator in addition to the existing GitHub Pages Helm repository. This enables Flux CD users to consume the chart via a HelmRepository with type: oci, avoiding the GitRepository workaround that exposes version: "devel" from the raw git source. Uses docker/login-action (SHA-pinned) for ghcr.io authentication and helm push for the OCI publish step. Adds packages: write permission to the job.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Make sense ! We'll want to make sure the oci repository is public after the first build, but I think it makes a lot of sense !

Summary
helm-releaseworkflow so the Tekton Operator Helm chart is available atoci://ghcr.io/tektoncd/operator/charts/tekton-operatoron every release, in addition to the existing GitHub Pages Helm repository.packages: writepermission to the job.docker/login-action(SHA-pinned, consistent with repo security posture) forghcr.ioauthentication.Motivation
The chart is currently only distributed via
git+https://github.com/tektoncd/operator@charts?ref=main, which Flux CD'sHelmRepositorycannot consume (it requireshttps://index oroci://). Users forced to use aGitRepositorysource pointing to the git tag getversion: "devel"from the rawChart.yaml, which Flux rejects as invalid semver.Publishing to OCI allows Flux users to use the standard pattern:
