Helmrelease: How to refers to valuesFiles (spec.chart) inside the chart with an Helm OCI repository (spec.chartRef) ?

[alphayax]

Hello there !

I want to deploy a chart by referencing values inside the chart like specified here in the documentation : https://fluxcd.io/flux/guides/helmreleases/#refer-to-values-inside-the-chart

However, I use an OCI Repository to hold my helm chart. And I have to use chartRef in my helm release ( https://fluxcd.io/flux/guides/helmreleases/#using-a-chart-reference ) and I didn't find a way to refer my values files inside my chart.

To sum up I want to do something like this (but I can't cause chartRef and chart cannot be defined at the same time) :

---
apiVersion: helm.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v2
kind: HelmRelease
metadata:
  name: my-wonderful-release

spec:
  interval: 15m
  chartRef:
    kind: OCIRepository
    name: my-oci-repo
  chart:
    spec:
      valuesFiles:
        - values.yaml
        - values-production.yaml
...

I believe you put the new values files under .spec.valuesFrom when using a chartRef:

apiVersion: helm.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v2
kind: HelmRelease
metadata:
  name: my-wonderful-release

spec:
  interval: 15m
  chartRef:
    kind: OCIRepository
    name: my-oci-repo
valuesFrom:
  - values.yaml
  - values-production.yaml

The HelmRelease spec might help you out: https://fluxcd.io/flux/components/helm/api/v2/#helm.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v2.HelmReleaseSpec

The valuesFiles are not support for OCIRepository source, you need to move these to ConfigMap/Secret generators.
