# helm-import

A tool to take a deployed set of kubernetes resources and turn them into a helm release.

Only works with helm3 > 3.2.0

Only compiles with Go < 1.15

And it's a pain to cross-compile, and my ci is currently broken

You can add jq commands to tweak the generation.

You run it from the chart folder (the one with `Chart.yaml`) in it

It's fairly opinionated but that can be turned off.

There's some kinda hacky stuff in the code related to json->yaml->helm stuff.

so... erm here's a docker command that worked for me :

```
docker run -v $(pwd):/context -v $HOME/.kube:/root/.kube --rm -it -w /context/ imartyn/helm-import /helm-import -namespace some-namespace -deployment some-deployment
```

and here's the help screen :

- [ ] cross-compile, now I know it was a go-1.15 issue first time
