Enable authentication headers so that charts can be fetched directly from Github (Artifacts or Source tree) or any other auth protected location

[voycey]

Description

We have a build process that builds our charts in a Github private repository:

Currently there is no way to authenticate against github (or anything with basic authentication) to fetch these .tar.gz files from this private repository if passing a chart.

For example:

resource "helm_release" "extensions" {
    name    = "tymlez-extensions"
    chart    = "https://github.com/Tymlez/tymlez-charts/releases/download/v.0.0.1/tymlez-extensions.tar.gz"

    repository_username = var.github_token
    repository_password = var.github_token
}

This does not work and doesn't provide the token as authentication (as I assume it is trying to auth to a helm repository).

Potential Terraform Configuration

resource "helm_release" "extensions" {
    name    = "tymlez-extensions"
    chart    = "https://github.com/Tymlez/tymlez-charts/releases/download/v.0.0.1/tymlez-extensions.tar.gz"

    authentication = {
        Authorization = var.github_token
    }

}

Hi, do you know if this is true for artifactory as well?

I have not found a single example on the internet on fetching from private repositories. I might be wrong though.

Hi @voycey,

Could you please try to use your GitHub username as a repository_username and Github token as a repository_password and let us know if that works?

Thank you.

Hi @arybolovlev,

I have encountered the same issue. Using my GitHub username as a repository_username and Github token as a repository_password does not work. I think authentication against Github would be a great feature.

Thank you.

@voycey did you manage to download release from private GH repo with curl?
When I try to use same path from browser_download_url it returns 404, exactly the same answer gets helm provider.
The only option to download release via cli I found so far is via https://api.github.com/repos/ endpoint with -H "Accept: application/octet-stream" -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json" headers.
