docker-registry install fails due to missing chart on repo

[TheEdgeOfRage]

Expected Behaviour

When running arkade install docker-registry I expect it to install it to my cluster

Current Behaviour

After running the command, I get the following error:

Using kubeconfig: /home/user/.kube/config
Client: x86_64, Linux
2020/11/15 11:13:36 User dir established as: /home/user/.arkade/
"stable" has been added to your repositories

Error: failed to fetch https://charts.helm.sh/stable/docker-registry-1.9.6.tgz : 404 Not Found
Error: exit code 1

The weird thing is that it says it tried to fetch it from https://charts.helm.sh/, but when I run helm repo list, I get the following

WARNING: "kubernetes-charts.storage.googleapis.com" is deprecated for "stable" and will be deleted Nov. 13, 2020.
WARNING: You should switch to "https://charts.helm.sh/stable" via:
WARNING: helm repo add "stable" "https://charts.helm.sh/stable" --force-update
NAME    	URL                                             
openfaas	https://openfaas.github.io/faas-netes/          
stable  	https://kubernetes-charts.storage.googleapis.com

After running the command in the warning, it sets the correct repo for stable, but after rerunning arkade install docker-registry, it reverts back to the deprecated kubernetes-charts.storage.googleapis.com URL, even though the error from arkade still says charts.helm.sh.

I'm not sure which repos got deprecated and which not, but if I understood this page correctly, charts.helm.sh is also deprecated?

Possible Solution

When searching on artifacthub.io, this seems to be the only docker-registry chart available there:

https://artifacthub.io/packages/helm/twuni/docker-registry

I'm not sure whether that's the same that used to reside in the charts.helm.sh, but it might be a viable alternative.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Run arkade install docker-registry

I can confirm that I'm getting the same error.

This is probably going to affect all charts that were in stable. We have already moved ingress-nginx, Mongo and a few others to the new upstreams. I'm shocked that the upstream maintainers just deleted these chart artifacts without providing an alternative.

From: https://helm.sh/docs/faq/#i-am-getting-a-warning-about-unable-to-get-an-update-from-the-stable-chart-repository

You can run the following command to fix your repository:

$ helm repo add stable https://charts.helm.sh/stable --force-update

This is giving a 404 for docker-registry despite being listed in the index.yaml 🤦

https://charts.helm.sh/stable/index.yaml

https://charts.helm.sh/stable/docker-registry-1.9.6.tgz <- 404

[alexellis]

jFrog's chart centre has a mirror which is actually working -> https://chartcenter.io/stable/docker-registry

[alexellis]

I looked into this then raised #274 - but was subsequently told by the helm maintainers that the 404 is a bug on their side, and that they were restoring the release aritfacts. See the notes on 274 and check your version of arkade.

https://charts.helm.sh/stable/index.yaml

https://charts.helm.sh/stable/docker-registry-1.9.6.tgz <- 404

The index.yaml seems to be updated, it's now https://charts.helm.sh/stable/packages/docker-registry-1.9.6.tgz

I also had the same issue using version 0.6.23. Installing the latest 0.6.28 fixed this.

Perfect. Thanks
