Fork the bitnami/common chart
Overview
The bitnami/common Helm chart is a very useful library chart that we use in several of our own Helm charts in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-infra/charts and https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-infra/k8s-workloads/gitlab-helmfiles.
Unfortunately its future is uncertain after August 28th as most Bitnami Helm charts will no longer be maintained or published, and others will be behind a paywall (see announcement). It's also unlikely to remain under an opensource license.
It would be safer to use a fork of this chart, either from the community or our own, so that we can continue to use it and maintain it freely.
Proposed plan of action
- Be on the lookout for a community fork in the weeks before and after August 28th, if a good one appears we can switch over to it
- If not, fork it in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-infra/charts
- Update all our charts to use either fork
Exit Criteria
-
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-infra/charts no longer uses the original bitnami/commonchart -
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gl-infra/k8s-workloads/gitlab-helmfiles no longer uses the original bitnami/commonchart
