Helm "serve" alternative #318

Closed lucasvc closed 11 months ago

lucasvc commented 11 months ago

I would like to test an Helm locally-packaged chart with a Minikube local running. The only way to let the Minikube instance to find a local-package is to create an HTTP server with the packages and the corresponding index.yaml file. But creating this for a single package, IMHO is a little bit overwhelming. I found the serve subcommand for version 2 which served in that purpose and simplified the process. But was removed for version 3. Is there any propposal to add it? Is there any option extract as a binary to simplify the process? Thanks.

After 30 minutes more searching, I have found alternative:

use command on your local chart folders
```
helm repo index [DIR]
```
(https://helm.sh/docs/helm/helm_repo_index/)
execute now any HTTP server, i.e. a Python,
```
python3 -m http.server 9999
```

Even still easier to have it in one command, is usable.
