What

Migrates hyperfleet-infra helmfile configuration from helm-git plugin to OCI chart distribution, completing the final deliverable of HYPERFLEET-831.

Why

  • Removes helm-git plugin requirement for all consumers
  • Enables version pinning instead of git ref tracking
  • Aligns with published OCI charts from component repos (HYPERFLEET-1214)
  • Simplifies developer onboarding (one less plugin to install)

Changes

Helmfile Configuration

  • Removed: repositories section (OCI doesn't use helm repo add)
  • Changed: Chart references from hyperfleet-api/hyperfleet-api to oci://quay.io/redhat-services-prod/hyperfleet-tenant/hyperfleet/hyperfleet-api-chart
  • Replaced: CHART_ORG/API_CHART_REF variables → API_CHART_VERSION (defaults to 0.3.1)
  • Replaced: SENTINEL_CHART_REFSENTINEL_CHART_VERSION (defaults to 0.3.1)
  • Replaced: ADAPTER_CHART_REFADAPTER_CHART_VERSION (defaults to 0.3.1)

Documentation

  • README.md: Removed helm-git from prerequisites, updated environment variables table
  • CONTRIBUTING.md: Updated chart deployment description, removed helm-git references
  • AGENTS.md: Removed helm-git from plugin installation, updated chart source explanation
  • docs/bump-chart-versions.md: New comprehensive guide for upgrading chart versions

Chart Locations

All charts now pulled from:

oci://quay.io/redhat-services-prod/hyperfleet-tenant/hyperfleet/
  - hyperfleet-api-chart:0.3.1
  - hyperfleet-sentinel-chart:0.3.1
  - hyperfleet-adapter-chart:0.3.1

Verification

✅ All three charts verified available on Quay at version 0.3.1
helm pull oci://... tested successfully
make template-helmfile renders correctly for e2e-kind
make lint-helm passes
✅ Rendered manifests show helm.sh/chart: hyperfleet-api-chart-0.3.1

Migration Notes

For Developers

No action required for local dev environments. The next make install-hyperfleet will pull OCI charts instead of git refs.

For CI/Pipelines

If any pipelines explicitly install helm-git, that step can be removed.

Version Overrides

Chart versions can be overridden via environment variables:

API_CHART_VERSION=0.3.2 make install-hyperfleet

See docs/bump-chart-versions.md for detailed upgrade strategies.

- helmfile: replace CHART_ORG/CHART_REF with CHART_VERSION variables
- README: remove helm-git from prerequisites, update env vars table
- CONTRIBUTING: remove helm-git references, update chart deployment description
- AGENTS: remove helm-git from plugin list, update chart source explanation
- docs: add docs/bump-chart-versions.md with upgrade guide

Chart versions default to 0.3.1 (latest published).
All three charts verified available at quay.io.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Helm deployments now use versioned OCI charts published to Quay.
    • API, Sentinel, and Adapter chart versions can be selected independently or overridden temporarily.
  • Documentation

    • Updated setup and contribution instructions to remove the helm-git prerequisite.
    • Added comprehensive guidance for chart version updates, verification, troubleshooting, authentication, and rollback.

Walkthrough

Helmfile now deploys the API, Sentinel, and Adapter charts from Quay OCI references. Chart versions come from environment variables. Documentation and project guidance remove the helm-git requirement and describe chart discovery, overrides, verification, troubleshooting, and rollback.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 7edc3

The change moves Helmfile deployments to pinned OCI chart versions and removes the helm-git prerequisite, with documented rendering, pull, and lint checks passing. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

Comment @coderabbitai help to get the list of available commands.

Changed default behavior to match previous helm-git ref=main:
- Empty CHART_VERSION variables → Helm pulls latest SemVer
- Conditional version field in helmfile (omitted when empty)
- Documentation updated to explain empty=latest behavior

This maintains 'always up-to-date' deployments by default while
still allowing version pinning via environment variables.

Use the active deployment namespace.

The commands hardcode hyperfleet. helmfile/helmfile.yaml.gotmpl requires NAMESPACE, and README.md documents other values such as hyperfleet-local and e2e namespaces. These commands can inspect or roll back the wrong release.

Use -n "$NAMESPACE" after sourcing the active environment file.

As per path instructions, validate cross-file deployment contracts and prioritize operational correctness over formatting.

Error: failed to download "hyperfleet-charts/hyperfleet-api-chart" at version "0.3.2"

**Cause:** The requested chart version doesn't exist on Quay.

**Fix:** Verify the version exists using `skopeo list-tags` or the Quay UI. Check that the component repo's pipeline successfully published the chart.

Replace the removed Git chart reference.

Line [140] still uses hyperfleet-charts/hyperfleet-api-chart, although this migration uses OCI charts. The example directs operators to troubleshoot a repository that this change removes.

Use the exact OCI reference selected after registry-path verification.

As per path instructions, flag broken user-facing documentation.

## Rollback

To rollback to a previous chart version:

```bash
# Rollback API to 0.3.0
API_CHART_VERSION=0.3.0 make install-api

# Or rollback via helm directly
helm rollback hyperfleet-api -n hyperfleet

Document chart-version rollback separately from release-revision rollback.

API_CHART_VERSION=0.3.0 make install-api applies chart version 0.3.0; it does not restore a stored release revision. Add helm history hyperfleet-api -n hyperfleet and a concrete revision to the helm rollback procedure, or label the first command as a chart-version redeployment.

Scope the helm-git removal to OCI-only targets.

The changed documentation removes the plugin prerequisite, but check-helmfile still requires it and helm/maestro still uses it.

  • helmfile/helmfile.yaml.gotmpl#L71-L72: split the prerequisite so OCI releases do not require helm-git, or retain the requirement until Maestro migrates.
  • helmfile/helmfile.yaml.gotmpl#L81-L82: apply the same target-specific prerequisite behavior to Sentinel.
  • helmfile/helmfile.yaml.gotmpl#L101-L102: apply the same target-specific prerequisite behavior to Adapter.
  • AGENTS.md#L128-L128: document helm-git for the remaining Maestro workflow.
  • CONTRIBUTING.md#L13-L13: document the target-specific prerequisite.
  • README.md#L30-L35: document the target-specific prerequisite.

As per path instructions, group repeated cross-file deployment-contract defects at the root cause.

Use the flat OCI repository path.

The deployment contract defines quay.io/redhat-services-prod/hyperfleet-tenant/<chart>. Remove the extra /hyperfleet/ segment from all three Helmfile chart references and from the Quay and skopeo examples in docs/bump-chart-versions.md. The current paths cannot resolve the published charts.
