<p>Created page with "== HELM and HELMFILE == Using '''Helm''' and '''Helmfile''' on '''NixOS''' effectivly requires some minor setup. == HELM == The derivation for <code>helm</code> is in <code..."</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>== HELM and HELMFILE ==<br /> <br /> Using '''Helm''' and '''Helmfile''' on '''NixOS''' effectivly requires some minor setup.<br /> <br /> == HELM ==<br /> <br /> The derivation for <code>helm</code> is in <code>nixpkgs</code> und the name <code>kubernetes-helm</code>. However it does not include any plugins for helm.<br /> <br /> To see which plugins are avaiable in <code>nixpkgs</code> do a <code>nix search nixpkgs kubernetes-helmPlugins</code>.<br /> <br /> In order to make any plugins available to <code>helm</code> itself, <code>nixpkgs</code> provides a helper function called <code>wrapHelm</code>. This allows you to set an attribute called <code>plugins</code>.<br /> <br /> The following snippet will give you access to helm with four plugins via your list of system packages. It assumes that you are using <code>nixpkgs</code> as <code>pkgs</code>:<br /> <br /> <syntaxhighlight lang="nix"><br /> {<br /> environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [<br /> (wrapHelm kubernetes-helm {<br /> plugins = with pkgs.kubernetes-helmPlugins; [<br /> helm-secrets<br /> helm-diff<br /> helm-s3<br /> helm-git<br /> ];<br /> }) <br /> ];<br /> }<br /> </syntaxhighlight><br /> <br /> Alternatively a self-contained flake for a development shell with helm and plugins available might look like this:<br /> <br /> <syntaxhighlight lang="nix"><br /> {<br /> description = "Nix flake for Helm";<br /> inputs.nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/master";<br /> inputs.flake-utils.url = "github:numtide/flake-utils";<br /> <br /> outputs = { self, nixpkgs, flake-utils }:<br /> flake-utils.lib.eachDefaultSystem (system:<br /> let pkgs = nixpkgs.legacyPackages.${system}; in<br /> {<br /> devShells.default = pkgs.mkShell {<br /> name = "helm devShell";<br /> nativeBuildInputs = [ pkgs.bashInteractive ];<br /> buildInputs = with pkgs; [<br /> (wrapHelm kubernetes-helm {<br /> plugins = with pkgs.kubernetes-helmPlugins; [<br /> helm-diff<br /> helm-secrets<br /> helm-s3<br /> ];<br /> })<br /> ];<br /> };<br /> });<br /> }<br /> </syntaxhighlight><br /> <br /> Create a <code>flake.nix</code> in some empty directory, paste the snippet above and run it with <code>nix develop</code><br /> <br /> This will create a devShell with helm and listed plugins available. Check <code>helm plugin list</code> to verify. <br /> <br /> <br /> === HELMFILE ===<br /> <br /> Helmfile can be found in <code>nixpkgs</code> as <code>helmfile</code>.<br /> <br /> In order to work properly, <code>helmfile</code> requires access to a number of helm plugins aside from the helm binary itself. In version 0.146.0, helmfile has introduced a check for plugin versions which uses helm's Go API directly instead of calling the helm binary. In order to make plugins avaiable after this change, the nix derivation <code>kubernetes-helm-wrapped</code> exposes an attribute called <code>pluginsDir</code> if helm is wrapped with plugins. The <code>helmfile</code> binary needs to be wrapped in turn in order to have access to this attribute.<br /> <br /> There are several ways to achieve this. One is using an overlay inside a flake to populate the <code>pluginsDir</code> attribute.<br /> <br /> <syntaxhighlight lang="nix"><br /> {<br /> description = "Nix flake for Helm and Helmfile with plugins";<br /> inputs.nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/master";<br /> inputs.flake-utils.url = "github:numtide/flake-utils";<br /> <br /> outputs = { self, nixpkgs, flake-utils }:<br /> flake-utils.lib.eachDefaultSystem (system:<br /> let<br /> pkgs = import nixpkgs {<br /> system = "x86_64-linux";<br /> overlays = [<br /> (final: prev: rec {<br /> kubernetes-helm-wrapped = prev.wrapHelm prev.kubernetes-helm {<br /> plugins = with prev.kubernetes-helmPlugins; [<br /> helm-diff<br /> helm-secrets<br /> helm-s3<br /> ];<br /> };<br /> })<br /> ];<br /> };<br /> in<br /> {<br /> devShells.default = pkgs.mkShell {<br /> name = "helmfile devShell";<br /> nativeBuildInputs = with pkgs; [<br /> bashInteractive<br /> ];<br /> buildInputs = with pkgs; [<br /> kubernetes-helm-wrapped<br /> helmfile-wrapped<br /> ];<br /> };<br /> });<br /> }<br /> </syntaxhighlight><br /> <br /> Here <code>helmfile-wrapped</code> reads <code>kubernetes-helm-wrapped.passthru.pluginsDir</code> and picks up the plugins correctly.<br /> <br /> Again, create a <code>flake.nix</code> in some empty directory, paste the snippet above and run it with <code>nix develop</code><br /> <br /> This time it will create a devShell with helm and helmfile and listed plugins available. Check <code>helm plugin list</code> to verify for helm. Likewise check <code>helmfile init</code> to see if helmfile finds its helm plugin dependencies.<br /> <br /> -----------------<br /> <br /> Another approach is via a <code>let ... in</code> block in your <code>configuration.nix</code>.<br /> <br /> <syntaxhighlight lang="nix"><br /> { config, pkgs, ... }:<br /> let<br /> my-kubernetes-helm = with pkgs; wrapHelm kubernetes-helm {<br /> plugins = with pkgs.kubernetes-helmPlugins; [<br /> helm-secrets<br /> helm-diff<br /> helm-s3<br /> helm-git<br /> ];<br /> };<br /> <br /> my-helmfile = with pkgs; helmfile-wrapped.override {<br /> inherit (my-kubernetes-helm.passthru) pluginsDir;<br /> };<br /> in<br /> <br /> {<br /> environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [<br /> my-kubernetes-helm<br /> my-helmfile<br /> ];<br /> }<br /> </syntaxhighlight><br /> <br /> Create a new <code>*.nix</code> file for the code snippet and import it into your system <code>configuration.nix</code>. In this case it should make <code>helm</code> and <code>helmfile</code> with plugins available to your system.<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> <br /> [https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/217768 Issue #217768]: helmfile does not recognize helm plugins<br /> [https://discourse.nixos.org/t/helm-plugin-install/20705/3 NixOS Discourse]: Helm plugin install<br /> <br /> [[Category:Applications]]<br /> [[Category:orchestration]]</div>
