Helm Nexus Repository Push

A Helm plugin that pushes a chart directory or packaged chart tgz to a specified Nexus Helm repo.

Prerequisites

• Helm 4
• Bash
• curl

Installation

Clone the updated plugin checkout and install it with Helm:

git clone https://github.com/LandRegistry/helm-nexus-push.git
cd helm-nexus-push
helm plugin install .
helm nexus-push --help

Helm 4 verifies signatures when installing plugin archives by default. This project does not publish signed plugin archives; installing a local checkout as shown above is treated as local development and does not require a signature. Review the source before installing or bypassing signature verification.

Updates

For plugins installed from a source Helm can update, run:

helm plugin update nexus-push

Usage

First register the Nexus Helm repository by name:

helm repo add myrepo https://nexus.example.com/repository/helm-hosted

Push either a chart directory (packaged by Helm) or an existing chart archive:

helm nexus-push myrepo ./mychart
helm nexus-push myrepo ./mychart-0.0.1.tgz

Additional help available helm nexus-push --help

Authentication

Pass -u/--username and -p/--password to provide credentials for a push or login. Explicit values take precedence over cached credentials; any missing values are taken from the cache and then prompted for interactively. helm nexus-push <repo> login saves credentials, and helm nexus-push <repo> logout removes them. Credentials are stored in auth.<repo> under Helm's configuration directory with owner-only permissions. If a required credential is missing and input is unavailable, the command fails.
