It plans, validates, and applies a set of chart releases, using Helm and Kubernetes tooling underneath. ### Historique du projet The `mkubaczyk/helmsman` repository was created in 2017 and early releases followed quickly, with a 0.1.0 release in November 2017 and a 1.0.0 release in March 2018. The README describes the tool as a way to automate deployment and management of Helm charts from version-controlled code. Helmsman uses a desired state file, originally centered on TOML and also accepting YAML, to define repositories, namespaces, releases, protection settings, and execution order. Its README emphasizes plan/view/apply behavior, idempotency, namespace and release protection, priority ordering, and parallel execution. The README records a stewardship change from Praqma, later Eficode, to the maintainers of the `mkubaczyk/helmsman` repository. Later documentation distinguishes Helmsman major lines by Helm compatibility, with v1.x for Helm 2 and v4.x for Helm 3 and Helm 4. ### Historique d'adoption Helmsman gained attention in the same era as Helmfile: Kubernetes users had many Helm charts to deploy, but wanted a declarative file and a plan step instead of shell scripts full of `helm install` commands. Its packaging through Homebrew and other distributions reflects use as a local or CI command-line deployment tool. ### Modes d'utilisation Users run `helmsman -f example.toml` to plan, `helmsman --apply -f example.toml` to execute, and flags such as `--dry-run`, `--debug`, and `--target` to inspect or limit changes. A binary install expects `kubectl`, `helm`, and for many versions the `helm-diff` plugin. The tool can run as a binary, as a container in CI, or as a container inside a Kubernetes cluster. Its value is strongest where release ordering, namespace protection, and repeated idempotent application matter. ### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent Helmsman is part of the Helm wrapper generation that treated Kubernetes releases as package sets. For package-minded operators, its desired-state file is the manifest of packages, while Helm remains the lower-level package manager. The explicit major-line mapping to Helm 2, Helm 3, and Helm 4 makes it a good example of a wrapper whose own packaging has to track another package manager's compatibility surface. ### Chronologie - 2017: The `mkubaczyk/helmsman` repository was created and 0.1.0 was released. - 2018: Helmsman v1.0.0 was published. - 2025: Helmsman v4.0.0 was published with documentation for Helm 3 and Helm 4 support. ### Related projects - Helm is the chart manager Helmsman orchestrates. - kubectl is a runtime prerequisite for binary use. - helm-diff is listed by the README as a required plugin for Helmsman versions from 1.6.0 onward. ### Sources - - - - - ## Notes de sécurité Aucun manifest local de gestion des secrets correspondant n'a été trouvé pour helmsman.
