Access denied on https://charts.bitnami.com/index.yaml

Describe the bug
Currently receiving 401 access denied on https://charts.bitnami.com/index.yaml, this was working before today

[rajan123456]

I have been using https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami/index.yaml and it is still working correctly.

Was working well yesterday

$ helm repo add bitnami https://charts.bitnami.com
Error: Looks like "https://charts.bitnami.com" is not a valid chart repository or cannot be reached: Failed to fetch https://charts.bitnami.com/index.yaml : 403 Forbidden

Hi,

This was an old repository location, it was moved to https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami in 2018 and we were keeping a redirection. Due to a HTTPS to HTTP redirection, we recently removed the redirection and added the instructions to the proper location in the HTML site, sorry for the inconvenience.

Please use https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami as the Helm repository.

I am adding more info just in case more people found the same issue. As @beltran-rubo rightly said, the repo URL was moved in 2018 from https://charts.bitnami.com to https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami but we kept a redirection to the previous one. Last month, we removed that redirection adding the instructions about how to add the repository from scratch in the HTML of the old URL (https://charts.bitnami.com).

If you want to add the bitnami charts repository following the instructions that appear on that site should be enough (those are the same instructions present in the README of this repo):

$ helm repo add bitnami https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami
$ helm search repo bitnami
$ helm install my-release bitnami/chart-name

On the other hand, if you are using a bitnami chart as a subchart, you need to change the repository field pointing to the "new" URL in your requirements.yaml, something like:

dependencies:
  - name: mariadb
    version: 7.x.x
-   repository: https://charts.bitnami.com/
+   repository: https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami
    condition: mariadb.enabled

I've been getting 401 Access Denied since last Thursday at https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami. It has not gone away since. Is it me, my ISP, my country? :D

[rafariossaa]

Hi,
Accessing to https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami/index.yaml should work.
Could you try that ?

[petr-motejlek]

Yup, that works.

[rafariossaa]

Hi,
I am happy that worked for you.

[petr-motejlek]

It's a bit confusing, because helm gave me an error 10 days ago, and my instinct was to test the URL, but I never realized that I need to suffix it with index.yaml :) It was probably just some glitch that got sorted fairly quickly, but I waited for the URL (without index.yaml) to respond with 200 :)

[rafariossaa]

Yes, it could be a glitch at that time.
In any case, the repository url always needs the index.yaml part when queried without helm (eg. the browser, curl,..) . That is handled internally by the helm tool.

Error: looks like "https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami" is not a valid chart repository or cannot be reached: stream error: stream ID 1; INTERNAL_ERROR

Today our CI/CD pipeline fails because of that reason

[rafariossaa]

Hi,
Could you check if it is fixed now for you ?

[renepardon]

@rafariossaa by just opening the link I posted I would say no

[carrodher]

Please note the above link is only designed to work using the Helm client. If you want to work with it using a regular browser the only possible action is access to https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami/index.yaml to download the index.yaml

[carrodher]

Thanks for letting us know, we are facing some transient issues with the Helm registry, it should work if you retry it:

$ helm repo add bitnami2 https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami
"bitnami2" has been added to your repositories

About the browser, please note this URL is designed for the Helm CLI, the only path accessible via browser is https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami/index.yaml where you can download the index.yaml

Please note this issue was already reported and we are tracking the progress at #8433

Seems like some issue while adding bitnami charts.
Any idea how to fix this ?

helm repo add bitnami https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami

There are some transient errors with the Helm registry, we are tracking the progress and unifying conversations at #8433
