    For flux we need a collection of helmrepositories that pull down helm charts to be available to deploy.

    Create the folder infrastructure/sources along with its kustomization.yaml file

    # infrastructure/sources/kustomization.yaml
---
apiVersion: kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Kustomization
namespace: flux-system
resources:
  - jetstack.yaml

    # infrastructure/sources/jetstack.yaml
---
apiVersion: source.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v1beta1
kind: HelmRepository
metadata:
  name: jetstack
spec:
  interval: 24h
  url: https://charts.jetstack.io

    And finally add the sources folder to the infrastructure/kustomization.yaml file so that it’s not empty and push to main branch again

    # infrastructure/kustomization.yaml
---
apiVersion: kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Kustomization
resources:
  - sources

    Wait for the kustomization to apply and check if you can see the helmrepository

    kubectl -n flux-system get helmrepository

    Now create the files

    # infrastructure/sources/ingress-nginx.yaml
# infrastructure/sources/harbor.yaml

    Within these files, create a HelmRepository resource (like we did in jetstack.yaml) using the following URLs, respectively.

    • ingress-nginx url: https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx
    • harbor url: https://helm.goharbor.io
    apiVersion: kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Kustomization
namespace: flux-system
resources:
  - jetstack.yaml
  - ingress-nginx.yaml
  - harbor.yaml

    You should see 3 items when you run kubectl -n flux-system get helmrepository If not try kubectl -n flux-system get kustomization and use describe kustomization/helmrepository etc to debug
