Additional Settings for Legacy Helm Remote Repositories

In addition to the basic settings and advanced settings that are common for all remote repositories, the following settings are available when configuring legacy Helm repositories.

Additional Basic Settings

Field	Description
Charts Base URL	Updates the index.yaml file with the corresponding path where the charts are located on the remote repository. When the Helm client fetches the artifacts, it will fetch them through Artifactory. This field must contain the base path where the charts/tgz files are present. Use this option when the Helm charts and the index.yaml are stored in different locations. For example, if the remote registry is: https://fluxcd-community.github.io/helm-charts But the charts are stored in: https://github.com/fluxcd-community/helm-charts/releases/download Enter the chart path in this field. For more information about this option, see the Knowledge Base article, ARTIFACTORY: How to configure the "Charts Base URL" in a Helm repository.

Charts Base URL

Updates the index.yaml file with the corresponding path where the charts are located on the remote repository. When the Helm client fetches the artifacts, it will fetch them through Artifactory. This field must contain the base path where the charts/tgz files are present.

Use this option when the Helm charts and the index.yaml are stored in different locations. For example, if the remote registry is:

https://fluxcd-community.github.io/helm-charts

But the charts are stored in:

https://github.com/fluxcd-community/helm-charts/releases/download

Enter the chart path in this field.

Additional Advanced Settings

Field	Description
Enable Dependency Rewrite	When selected, enables the specification of a "safe" Allow List from which dependencies may be downloaded, cached in Artifactory, and configured to rewrite the dependencies so that the Helm client accesses dependencies through a remote repository.
Patterns Allow List	An Allow List of Ant-style path expressions that specify where external dependencies may be downloaded from. By default, this is set to `` which means that dependencies may be downloaded from any external source. For example, if you limit the Patterns Allow List to `https://github.com/`, the external dependencies will be cached in the "helm" remote repository, and only charts with a URL starting with `https://github.com/` will be allowed to be cached.

Enable Dependency Rewrite

When selected, enables the specification of a "safe" Allow List from which dependencies may be downloaded, cached in Artifactory, and configured to rewrite the dependencies so that the Helm client accesses dependencies through a remote repository.

Patterns Allow List

An Allow List of Ant-style path expressions that specify where external dependencies may be downloaded from. By default, this is set to ** which means that dependencies may be downloaded from any external source.

For example, if you limit the Patterns Allow List to https://github.com/**, the external dependencies will be cached in the "helm" remote repository, and only charts with a URL starting with https://github.com/ will be allowed to be cached.
