Using private s3 bucket as repository

[schollii]

Is this possible? Currently we are using helmsman, which supports repository that has s3://bucket-name/repo-name as repo, but we would like to switch to helmfile if helmfile could handle accessing a repo that is hosted in a private s3 bucket (needs access to AWS profile of course).

@schollii Hey! I haven't tried myself yet due to I have no specific need to use s3 as a repository, but it would be useful, and feasible.

Try installing helm-s3 and specify the url that starts withs3://:

repositories:
  - name: roboll
    url: s3://yourbucket/prefix

It should work!

Thanks I will try that! I will close this for now.

We use helmfile with S3 and a custom plugin that is very similar to helm-s3. It is possible and works well!

@schollii I have been using the helm-s3 plugin for a while and it's been great. @schollii mind if I ask what about helmfile brought you to the tool?
