Helm chart location throwing a 404

[tashimi]

Hey,

This link isn't working: https://habitat-sh.github.io/habitat-operator/helm/charts/stable/

It's documented in blogs & docs as the way to get the helm chart (https://github.com/habitat-sh/habitat-operator/tree/master/helm/habitat-operator)

That's curious, because https://habitat-sh.github.io/habitat-operator/helm/charts/stable/habitat-operator-0.5.1.tgz (or https://habitat-sh.github.io/habitat-operator/helm/charts/stable/index.yaml, which is what helm downloads in the first place) seems to work…

So, googling a bit tells me that GitHub Pages has no directory listing feature, so a link like https://habitat-sh.github.io/habitat-operator/helm/charts/stable/ (which points to a directory, not a file) will not work. People using GitHab Pages that want to have the directory listing usually have some scripts that generate the index.html listing (usually with some kind of <ul><li>..</li><li>dir/</li><li>file</li></ul> goo). An example is here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39048654/how-to-enable-directory-indexing-on-github-pages.

So, IIUC, the fact that the URL returns 404 when accessed directly does not break anything, because helm actually fetches the index.yaml file.

If so, I guess we can close this?

Or rather:

• Is the user expectation that they should be able to navigate the charts by following that link?
• If so, would we be better served by hosting the charts elesewhere, e.g. S3?
• If not, maybe go with the script in that SO answer

The expectation is just that the steps in the docs/blog work to get things up and running, and a user was reporting hitting a 404 earlier this week

As far as I understand, running the instructions in the docs works. That is, running the following commands:

$ helm repo add habitat https://habitat-sh.github.io/habitat-operator/helm/charts/stable/
$ helm install --name my-release habitat/habitat-operator

Helm doesn't require https://habitat-sh.github.io/habitat-operator/helm/charts/stable/
to work. Maybe the user just clicked the link and reported the 404 thinking it was a problem?
