Downloading and deploying HCL products from a Harbor repository
Access DX 9.5 container images and Helm charts
The HCL Digital Experience (DX) 9.5 container images and Helm charts are available from the Harbor container repository for HCL DX. If you have credentials for the My HCLSoftware (MHS) portal, you can use them to access these DX 9.5 components. Starting with CF216, the Harbor repository uses a registry that follows Open Container Initiative (OCI) standards. The Helm chart command has also been updated to comply with OCI standards.
Pull Helm charts using OCI commands
Before running OCI commands, you must sign in to the Harbor registry.
Run the following command:
helm registry login -u <YOUR_HARBOR_USERNAME> -p <YOUR_HARBOR_CLI_SECRET> https://hclcr.io/
You can access Harbor here:
https://hclcr.io/account/sign-in
Get your CLI secret
- Sign in to Harbor.
- Go to your user profile.
- Copy the value from the CLI secret field.
Verify sign-in
After a successful sign-in, the following message is displayed:
Login Succeeded
Note
Running the pull command without the --version parameter downloads the latest Helm chart version.
To see the available Helm chart versions, refer to Helm chart and CF versions.
After you run the pull command, verify that the Helm chart was downloaded to your local computer:
ls -lah
