Log in to the appropriate artifact registry with Helm and set the repository address#

Introduction#

Before you can perform a clean installation or an upgrade of Aspen Mesh or one of its companion products, you must log in to the appropriate artifact registry— either the Aspen Mesh Artifact Registry or your private artifact registry—with Helm and set the address of the repository.

When to follow these instructions#

Follow the instructions below only when other instructions tell you to do so.

Log in to the appropriate artifact registry with Helm and set the repository address#

Note

Unless you log out (or get logged out), you need to log in to a registry only once with Helm.

  • Are you using a private artifact registry to store the Aspen Mesh Platform’s Helm charts and Docker container images?

    • Yes:

      • Log in to the private artifact registry with Helm.

      • Set the AM_REPO environment variable to the address of the Aspen Mesh repository in the private artifact registry.

        Example

        $ export AM_REPO=registry.company.com/aspenmesh

    • No:

      • Log in to the Aspen Mesh Artifact Registry with Helm.

      • Set the AM_REPO environment variable to the address of the Aspen Mesh Artifact Registry:

        $ export AM_REPO=artifacts.aspenmesh.io

        Note

        There is only one repository in the Aspen Mesh Artifact Registry, so the address of the registry is also the address of the repository.
