[FIXED] How to get jenkins variables to apply to Helm Chart

Issue

I have a task, to get jenkins variables to apply to Helm chart value.

As I googled I recognized that I have to use secret part in k8s. We can not put variable's value into value.yaml file.

But for secret we have to put value into yaml file.

So how to get variable which we define in Jenkins job and put it to value of helm chart .

I think we have a solution for this but I didnot find out.

Appriciated your help .

Solution

You can first use is to --set

export USERNAME=hello_user

this way you can overwrite the values.yaml

helm install --set username=$USERNAME [chart name] [chart path]

Option : 2

Inject file to Jenkin job

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: {{ .Release.Name }}-auth
stringData::
{{ .Files.Get "<chart_base_directory>/secrets" | indent 2 }}
