Step 3: Add the Chart Archive to a Release

Use the replicated CLI to add the Gitea Helm chart archive to a release in the Replicated vendor platform.

To create a release:

  1. Install the replicated CLI:

    brew install replicatedhq/replicated/cli

    For more installation options, see Installing the replicated CLI.

  2. Authorize the replicated CLI:

    replicated login

    In the browser window that opens, complete the prompts to log in to your vendor account and authorize the CLI.

  3. Create an application named Gitea:

    replicated app create Gitea

  4. Get the slug for the application that you created:

    replicated app ls

    Example output:

    ID                             NAME            SLUG            SCHEDULER
    2WthxUIfGT13RlrsUx9HR7So8bR    Gitea           gitea-boxer     kots

    In the example above, the application slug is gitea-boxer.

  5. Set the REPLICATED_APP environment variable to the application that you created. This allows you to interact with the application using the replicated CLI without needing to use the --app flag with every command:

    Example:

    export REPLICATED_APP=gitea-boxer

  6. Go to the gitea directory.

  7. Create a release with the Gitea chart archive:

    replicated release create --chart=gitea-1.0.6.tgz
    You are creating a release that will only be installable with the helm CLI.
    For more information, see
