⚠️ Moving to ghcr.io/bitwarden/helm-charts/kubectl ⚠️

We've migrated away from Bitnami's public kubectl docker image to our own that is published to GitHub Container Registry (GHCR).

Action Required:

• Update your values.yml file:

  • Under supportComponents.kubectl.image update your name reference to the new format:

    ghcr.io/bitwarden/helm-charts/kubectl
    

  • Under supportComponents.kubectl.tag update the tag reference to the new version:

    1.34
    

Example:

kubectl:
    image:
      name: ghcr.io/bitwarden/helm-charts/kubectl
      tag: 1.34
