helmChart
A Kubernetes installation resource representing a Helm chart, either stored as OCI artifact or as tar blob.
-
OCI Artifact
A Helm chart might be stored as OCI artifact following the Artifact Set Archive Format. This format is for example provided by the access method type
ociArtifact
Media types:
application/vnd.oci.image.manifest.v1+tar
application/vnd.oci.image.manifest.v1+tar+gzip
The config blob media type described in the OCI manifest MUST be
application/vnd.cncf.helm.config.v1+json
-
Helm Tar Archive
If stored in the Helm tar format (for the filesystem), the tar media type MUST be used.
Media types:
application/vnd.cncf.helm.chart.content.v1.tar
application/vnd.cncf.helm.chart.content.v1.tar+gzip
There is a dedicated downloader available, that always converts the Helm chart blob into the appropriate filesystem representation required by Helm when downloading the artifact using the command line interface.
