helmsman

We have hosted the application helmsman in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about helmsman:

Helmsman is a Helm Charts (k8s applications) as Code tool that allows you to automate the deployment/management of your Helm charts from version-controlled code. Helmsman uses a simple declarative TOML file to allow you to describe a desired state for your k8s applications as in the example toml file. Alternatively YAML declaration is also an acceptable example YAML file. Helmsman sees what you desire, validates that your desire makes sense (e.g. that the charts you desire are available in the repos you defined), compares it with the current state of Helm and figures out what to do to make your desire come true.

Features:

• Helmsman can be used as a docker image or a binary
• Describe your desired applications and manage them from a single version-controlled declarative file
• Deploy Tiller in different namespaces with service accounts and TLS (versions 1.x)
• Deep knowledge of Helm CLI and Kubectl is NOT mandatory to use Helmsman
• You can run Helmsman to generate and view a plan with/without executing it
• Helmsman can be used to manage charts deployments on any k8s cluster
• You can define certain namespaces/releases to be protected against accidental human mistakes
• You can define the priorities at which releases are managed by helmsman (useful for dependencies)
• Releases with the same priority can be executed in parallel
• As long your desired state file does not change, you can execute Helmsman several times and get the same result

Programming Language: Go.
