This manager parses [Flux](https://fluxcd.io/) YAML manifests and supports:
1. [`HelmRelease`](https://fluxcd.io/docs/components/helm/helmreleases/) resources
1. ['GitRepository'](https://fluxcd.io/flux/components/source/gitrepositories/) resources
1. ['OCIRepository'](https://fluxcd.io/flux/components/source/ocirepositories/) resources
1. Flux [system](https://fluxcd.io/docs/installation) manifests
### HelmRelease support
Extracts `helm` dependencies from `HelmRelease` resources.
The `flux` manager only extracts `helm` dependencies for `HelmRelease` resources linked to `HelmRepository` or `GitRepository` sources.
Renovate does not support OCI `HelmRepository` sources, those with `type: oci`.
In addition, for the `flux` manager to properly link `HelmRelease` and `HelmRepository` resources, _both_ of the following conditions must be met:
1. The `HelmRelease` resource must either have its `metadata.namespace` property set or its `spec.chart.spec.sourceRef.namespace` property set
2. The referenced `HelmRepository` resource must have its `metadata.namespace` property set
Namespaces will not be inferred from the context (e.g. from the parent `Kustomization`).
Renovate updates `HelmRelease` resources coming from `GitRepository` by updating the `GitRepository` resource.
### GitRepository support
Renovate can update `git` references from `GitRepository` resources.
The `flux` manager only updates `GitRepository` fields that have a `tag` or `commit` key.
### OCIRepository support
Renovate can update `oci` references from `OCIRepository` resources.
The `flux` manager only updates `OCIRepository` fields that have a `digest` or `tag` key.
If `tag` _and_ `digest` exist then `digest` takes precedence.
### Flux system manifests support
Support updating Flux system manifests generated during [Flux installation](https://fluxcd.io/docs/installation/#customize-flux-manifests).
Updating system manifests requires that either:
1. The `flux` tool is pre-installed, or
1. You run a Docker image based on [containerbase](https://github.com/containerbase), such as the official Renovate images, and have `binarySource=install` configured
### Non-configured fileMatch
By default, the `flux` manager will only match `flux-system/{.,**}/gotk-components.yaml` (i.e. system manifest) files.
This is because there is no commonly accepted file/directory naming convention for Flux manifests and we don't want to check every single `*.yaml` file in repositories just in case some of them have Flux definitions.
If most `.yaml` files in your repository are Flux manifests, then you could add this to your config:
```json
{
"flux": {
"fileMatch": ["\\.yaml$"]
}
}
```
If instead you have all your Flux manifests inside a `flux/` directory, you would add this:
```json
{
"flux": {
"fileMatch": ["flux/.+\\.yaml$"]
}
}
```
### Versioning
If you need to change the versioning format, read the [versioning](https://docs.renovatebot.com/modules/versioning/) documentation to learn more.
