Helm Whatup

This Repo is a fork of bacongobbler/helm-whatup, because the original project is no longer actively further developed.

This is a Helm plugin to help users determine if there's an update available for their installed charts. It works by reading your locally cached index files from the chart repositories (via helm repo update) and checking the version against the latest deployed version of your charts in the Kubernetes cluster.

Support

whatup Version	Supported helm version
0.2.x	2.x
>= 0.3.x	3.x

NOTE: If you use a helm v3 Client you need to install the latest whatup Version!

Usage

helm repo update
helm whatup

Install

helm plugin install https://github.com/fabmation-gmbh/helm-whatup

The above will fetch the latest binary release of helm whatup and install it.

Developer (From Source) Install

If you would like to handle the build yourself, instead of fetching a binary, this is how recommend doing it.

First, set up your environment:

• You need to have Go installed. Make sure to set $GOPATH

Clone this repo into your $GOPATH using git.

mkdir $GOPATH/src/github.com/fabmation-gmbh
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/fabmation-gmbh
git clone https://github.com/fabmation-gmbh/helm-whatup

Then run the following to get running.

cd helm-whatup
make bootstrap build
SKIP_BIN_INSTALL=1 helm plugin install $GOPATH/src/github.com/fabmation-gmbh/helm-whatup

That last command will skip fetching the binary install and use the one you built.
