The Pangolin chart is published as a pre-release (0.1.0-alpha.2). Helm excludes pre-release versions from helm search and refuses to install them unless --devel is passed or an exact version is named, so following this page on a clean Helm setup listed only the Newt chart and failed the install with no chart version found.

Changes:

  • --devel added to the install, upgrade and Gerbil startup-mode commands, plus a helm search repo fossorial --devel example.
  • A <Warning> explaining why the flag is needed, and that it applies only to Pangolin — the Newt chart has stable releases and needs nothing.
  • A <Tip> documenting the explicit --version alternative, which is the safer choice for production since it does not silently follow the newest alpha. An explicit --version also makes --devel unnecessary.
  • The OCI examples still pinned 0.1.0-alpha.0; refreshed to the current 0.1.0-alpha.2.

The chart deliberately stays a pre-release, so this documents the current behaviour rather than working around it. Once a stable Pangolin chart is released, the --devel flags and the warning can be dropped.

Fixes #139

The Pangolin chart is published as a pre-release, and Helm hides pre-release
versions from search and refuses to install them unless --devel is passed or an
exact version is named. Following these instructions on a clean Helm setup listed
only the Newt chart and failed the install.

Adds --devel to the install, upgrade and Gerbil startup-mode commands, documents
the explicit --version alternative as the safer choice for production, and
refreshes the OCI examples, which still pinned 0.1.0-alpha.0.

Fixes #139
