How to use the Vector Helm Repository

You need to add this repository to your Helm repositories:

helm repo add vector https://helm.vector.dev
helm repo update

Releasing

Charts are packaged and released with cr when the develop branch is merged into master.

To make releasing easier two scripts are utilized in the steps below.

Run $ .github/release-vector-version.sh
- Update Helm docs by running helm-docs
- Commit the changes generated from step 1. This needs to be a conventional commit.
  - E.g. "feat(vector): Bump Vector to v0.29.0"
  - Submit a PR with the changes.
- Notes:
  - This queries vectordotdev/vector for the latest release and updates the vector chart's default image.
  - This is convenient when updating the chart after a Vector release.
  - On macOS, install gsed
Run $ .github/release-changelog.sh
- Commit the changes generated from step 1. This needs to be a conventional commit.
  - E.g. "feat(vector): Regenerate CHANGELOG"
- Submit a PR with the changes.
- Notes:
  - This pulls the current vector chart version and uses git-cliff to update the CHANGELOG.md. Run this to generate the final commit merged into develop before merging develop into master.
  - This script requires yq and git-cliff to be installed.
To kick off the release workflow:

  git switch master
  git pull
  git merge develop
  git push
