solas-chart is scaffolding for new chart repositories hosted by Samsung CNCT. It implements our best practices, such as issue and PR templates, commit hooks, licensing guidelines, and so on.

We use GitLab to implement our CI/CD pipelines. There is one GitLab repository for each GitHub repository. Each job builds, tests and, then deploys an artifact to Quay.

SOLAS is also an international maritime treaty to ensure ships comply with minimum safety standards in construction, equipment and operation.

• The name of chart repos should be of the form chart-${NAME}. For example, chart-zabra is the name of the repo which builds a chart named zabra.

• Create a new empty repo under the samsung-cnct org using the GitHub GUI, for example https://github.com/samsung-cnct/chart-zabra .

• Duplicate this repo (https://github.com/samsung-cnct/solas-chart) and push it to the chart-zabra repo you created in the previous step. Note the arguments to clone and push.

git clone --bare https://github.com/samsung-cnct/solas-chart.git
cd solas-chart.git
git push --mirror https://github.com/samsung-cnct/chart-zabra.git
cd ..
rm -rf solas-chart.git

• Configure CI/CD by following the instructions for GitHub, Quay, and GitLab.

Jenkins is currently being phased out.

• Configure Slack notifications.

• Fork the chart-zabra repo (https://github.com/samsung-cnct/chart-zabra) from samsung-cnct and begin submitting PRs.

Chart images are hosted on Quay under "Application". We have the following conventions for versioning: The general versioning format is x.y.z-a.

Any image where a does not equal 0 is the most recent development version that has passed CI tests. It may change as further adjustments get made. Use at your own risk.

A release version of a chart image will be of the format x.y.z-0. This is considered a fully developed version of the chart.

Releases are currently done manually, by pushing a tag to a certain state of master. A release will be cut when it is determined to be useful. Since helm charts may not include a "v" in their version tag, but Github tags require it, the v is removed automatically during the publish stage of the CI run.
