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
