* fix: add trackFailOnError option to control kubedog exit code behavior When kubedog release tracking fails (e.g. pod ImagePullBackOff), helmfile exits with code 0 instead of a non-zero exit code. Add a trackFailOnError configuration option (default: false) that when set to true, propagates kubedog tracking failures to the exit code. The option is available as: - Per-release YAML: trackFailOnError: true - CLI flag: --track-fail-on-error (sync and apply commands) Extract trackReleaseIfEnabled helper to consolidate kubedog tracking logic from two duplicated call sites into a single maintainable method. Fixes #2507 Signed-off-by: yxxhero <aiopsclub@163.com> * fix: add //go:build ignore to server.go to fix go test CI failure The test/integration/test-cases/issue-2103/input/server.go is a package main helper binary used by the issue-2103 integration test. When go test -coverprofile runs on this package, it fails with "go: no such tool covdata" in the CI environment. Adding //go:build ignore excludes the file from go list ./... (and therefore from PKGS in the Makefile), while still allowing the integration test to build it explicitly via file path: go build -o server ./path/to/server.go Agent-Logs-Url: https://github.com/helmfile/helmfile/sessions/8a7000af-72b7-48f8-8a82-24813b5df341 Co-authored-by: yxxhero <11087727+yxxhero@users.noreply.github.com> * fix: update TestGenerateID expected hashes after adding TrackFailOnError field Adding TrackFailOnError *bool to ReleaseSpec changed the spew serialization of the struct, which changed the FNV-32a hash values produced by generateValuesID.

Helmfile
Deploy Kubernetes Helm Charts
English | 简体中文
About
Helmfile is a declarative spec for deploying helm charts. It lets you...
- Keep a directory of chart value files and maintain changes in version control.
- Apply CI/CD to configuration changes.
- Periodically sync to avoid skew in environments.
To avoid upgrades for each iteration of helm, the helmfile executable delegates to helm - as a result, the following must be installed
Highlights
Declarative: Write, version-control, apply the desired state file for visibility and reproducibility.
Modules: Modularize common patterns of your infrastructure, distribute it via Git, S3, etc. to be reused across the entire company (See #648)
Versatility: Manage your cluster consisting of charts, kustomizations, and directories of Kubernetes resources, turning everything to Helm releases (See #673)
Patch: JSON/Strategic-Merge Patch Kubernetes resources before helm-installing, without forking upstream charts (See #673)
Status
May 2025 Update
- Helmfile v1.0 and v1.1 has been released. We recommend upgrading directly to v1.1 if you are still using v0.x.
- If you haven't already upgraded, please go over this v1 proposal here to see a small list of breaking changes.
Installation
1: Binary Installation
download one of releases
2: Package Manager
- Archlinux: install via
pacman -S helmfile - openSUSE: install via
zypper in helmfileassuming you are on Tumbleweed; if you are on Leap you must add the kubic repo for your distribution version once before that command, e.g.zypper ar https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/kubic/openSUSE_Leap_\$releasever kubic - Windows (using scoop):
scoop install helmfile - macOS (using homebrew):
brew install helmfile - Linux/macOS/Windows (using mise):
mise use -g helmfile@latest
3: Container
For more details, see run as a container
Make sure to run
helmfile initonce after installation. Helmfile uses the helm-diff plugin.
4: Build from source
requirements: Go
go install github.com/helmfile/helmfile@latest
Getting Started
Let's start with a simple helmfile and gradually improve it to fit your use-case!
Generate a project scaffold with best-practice directory structure:
helmfile create my-project && cd my-project
Or create a helmfile.yaml manually. Suppose the helmfile.yaml representing the desired state of your helm releases looks like:
repositories:
- name: prometheus-community
url: https://prometheus-community.github.io/helm-charts
releases:
- name: prom-norbac-ubuntu
namespace: prometheus
chart: prometheus-community/prometheus
set:
- name: rbac.create
value: false
Sync your Kubernetes cluster state to the desired one by running:
helmfile apply
Congratulations! You now have your first Prometheus deployment running inside your cluster.
Iterate on the helmfile.yaml by referencing:
