github-actions-lifecycle-management

This GitHub Action publish helm releases in the Lerian Studio Plugin Lifecycle Management.

Adding a New Chart

To enable this action for a new Helm chart, you need to update the APPLICATION_IDS repository variable.

1. Obtain the Application ID:

   • Navigate to your application within the Lerian Studio Lifecycle Management interface (distr).
   • Find and copy the Application ID for your new chart.

2. Update APPLICATION_IDS Repository Variable:

   • Go to your GitHub repository's Settings.
   • Navigate to Secrets and variables > Actions.
   • Under Repository variables, find APPLICATION_IDS. If it doesn't exist, create it.
   • Add or update the entry for your new chart in the format chart_name:application_id.
   • If there are existing entries, separate them with a comma.

   Example: If you have an existing chart midaz with ID 1234, and you're adding new_chart with ID 5678, the APPLICATION_IDS variable should look like this:

   midaz:1234,new_chart:5678
   

Inputs

The action uses the following inputs:

• chart_name (required): The name of the Helm chart (e.g., my-app). This name must correspond to an entry in the application_ids_from_workflow input.
• version (required): The version of the release (e.g., 1.2.3).
• application_ids_from_workflow (required): The string containing application ID mappings (e.g., chart1:id1,chart2:id2). This is typically passed from vars.APPLICATION_IDS in the calling workflow.
• lifecycle_api_token_from_workflow (required): The API token for the Lerian Studio Lifecycle API. This is typically passed from secrets.LIFECYCLE_API_TOKEN in the calling workflow.
