helm chart with dependency: how to package properly

kubernetes, kubernetes-helm

Solution

One additional step should be added:

helm dep update parent-chart

it places child-chart.tgz into chart folder of parent chart and then packaging works

Problem

I have a parent helm chart with some child chart defined as a dependency in requirements.yaml. Child chart is packaged and uploaded to some-repo. Currently I'm doing: - run `helm package parent-chart` - upload parent-chart.tgz to some-repo And when I'm trying to install via `helm install some-repo/parent-chart` I get only parent chart installed but not the child chart. How do I need to package parent chart to be able to install it with the child chart together?
