@millions-alarm-86298 fancy a blog about your experience ? 🙂
m
rather no 🙂 it's too difiicult for me 🙂
g
what is the value of skaffold in this combo ?
m
• build images passing env vars to BuildKit • use local registry (provided by k3d) in CI instead of publishing in each build to dockerhub or smth • parametrizing chart with values depending on env • simpler start / stop of helm chart thatn actually using helm • finally build and publish dockers to real regstry
that's how I use it, but there are more scenarios other pplz use
g
but when you run k3d as local registry in CI - how do you make it persistent 🤔
m
hmmm i don't understand the question, plz re-phrase
g
I am referring to this point: 
use local registry (provided by k3d) in CI
If you run k3d in CI then you spin up new k3d-based, docker registry on every run. Is that true ?
m
yes, exactly
CI images not published to dockerhub on every run, i can leverage k3d registry for regular CI builds and still be able to use those image in my charts and publish to dockerhub only in release job
g
I am not sure what CI you are using but in our case (Gitlab) we would need to "share" artifacts (read: push to and pull from the gitlab server). I wonder how you keep k3d persistent between CI tasks/jobs. Any magic ?
m
i don't keep them because I don't need them i only need a registry during a CI job run 1. build a docker and push to local registry 2. start my helm chart with local images 3. test helm chart 4. shutdown k3d + registry
such proceses happend dozen time a day for dozens of repositories we would kill gitlab / github / dockerhub registry if we publish all those temp images there so k3d + local registry is a life saver
g
so in the same pipeline you build and push the docker image to k3d-based registry and then deploy helm chart with this image to the same k3d ?
m
yes
g
thanks
