14. Internal processes

The following processes only apply to Wire employees working on this code base.

14.1. Inspect helm charts before releasing them

make charts will create a partial copy of the ./charts folder under ./.local/charts/ and set helm chart versions as well as docker tags.

make chart-<chart-name> can be used to copy & version-pin a single chart before its release.

See the CHARTS variable in the top-level Makefile for the current default list of charts.

14.2. Run wire-server integration tests inside kubernetes using helm

You need kubectl, helm, and a configured kubernetes cluster

# for "whatever wire-server source code, usually latest develop, I don't care much"
export DOCKER_TAG=$(./hack/bin/find-latest-docker-tag.sh)
echo "$DOCKER_TAG"
# or, if you wish to test specific wire-server source code, e.g. a particular PR already built by CI:
export DOCKER_TAG=<desired tag used on quay.io.>

# The following can take ~15 minutes and will set up an ephemeral kubernetes namespace and run all integration tests.
make kube-integration

When you’re done, you can run

make kube-integration-teardown

14.3. Upload Helm charts to our S3 mirror

Ideally, only CI will do this after commits are merged to develop or master respectively. If this needs to be done manually:

Ensure you are either on develop or master, and your git working tree is clean.

export HELM_SEMVER=<desired helm version> # must be a semantic version
export DOCKER_TAG=<desired docker tag for docker images of brig, galley, etc>

# Upload all charts inside the makefile list:
make upload-charts

# Upload a single chart, e.g. wire-server
make upload-wire-server
