Tools for local development
charts-local.py
This script helps you with cloning/pulling Helm charts and referencing them directly in the openDesk
Helmfile deployment for comfortable local test and development. The charts will be cloned/pulled into a directory
created next to the opendesk repo containing this documentation and the charts-local.py script.
The name of the directory containing the charts is based on the (currently) selected branch of the openDesk
repo prefixed with charts-.
The script will create .bak copies of the helmfiles that have been touched that can easily be reverted to
using the --revert option.
Run the script with -h to get information about the script's parameter on commandline.
Commandline parameter
--match <your_string>
Will only fetch repos or pull images for charts which name matches <your_string>.
--revert
Reverts the changes in the helmfiles pointing to the local Helm charts by copying the backup files created by the scripts itself back to their original location.
--branch (deprecated)
Optional parameter: Defines a branch for the opendesk repo to work with. The script will create the branch if it
does not exist yet. Otherwise it will switch to defined branch.
If parameter is omitted the current branch of the opendesk repo will be used.
As this parameter was used rarely, we might remove the support in a later version.
