Upgrade Notices
✅ Air-Gapped Deployments Fixed
Air-gapped deployments are now fully working in version 9.1.2-bb.0 (Big Bang 3.3.0)
🚨 Critical Issue in 9.1.0-bb.0
Version 9.1.0-bb.0 (released with Big Bang 3.2.0) broke air-gapped deployments due to conflicting dependency resolution files.
Error experienced:
HelmChart 'bigbang/bigbang-gitlab' is not ready: dependency build error:
failed to add remote dependency 'certmanager': failed to get chart 'cert-manager'
version 'v1.12.17' from 'https://charts.jetstack.io/'
Root Cause: Legacy Helm 2 dependency files caused Helm to attempt external repository downloads instead of using bundled charts.
🔄 What Changed in 9.1.2-bb.0
The chart now uses clean, modern Helm 3 dependency resolution by removing conflicting legacy files:
Files Removed:
-
/chart/requirements.yaml
(Legacy Helm 2 format) -
/chart/requirements.lock
(Legacy Helm 2 lock file)
Result: Helm now correctly prioritizes bundled charts over external repositories!
✅ Simple Solution
The fix automatically ensures:
-
Bundled
cert-manager-v1.12.17.tgz
is used instead of external downloads - Air-gapped environments work without any configuration changes
- Connected environments continue working with improved reliability
- No breaking changes to existing deployments
⚠️ Upgrade Required for Air-Gapped
Air-gapped environments: Upgrade to 9.1.2-bb.0 (Big Bang 3.3.0) immediately - this fixes critical deployment failures
Connected environments: Upgrade recommended for improved dependency resolution
💡 Benefits
- Fixes air-gapped deployments: No more external repository dependency errors
- Improved reliability: Clean, unambiguous dependency resolution
- Modern Helm 3: Removes legacy Helm 2 compatibility issues
- No configuration required: Works automatically after upgrade
