helmfile apply tracks kubedog progress in parallel with Helm

Introduced 2026-06-22 · score 0.98

HOW TO USE IT

When applying a Helmfile release with live kubedog progress, run `helmfile apply --track-mode kubedog`. Helmfile tracks resources in parallel with Helm and buffers Helm output per release. [Release notes](https://github.com/helmfile/helmfile/releases/tag/v1.6.0)

helmfile apply --track-mode kubedog
helmfile apply --track-mode kubedog --track-timeout <seconds>

WHY THIS HELPS

Apply a Helmfile release with live resource convergence progress while Helm installs or upgrades it.

BEFORE THIS CHANGE

Tracking ran only after Helm finished; there was no progress feedback during the release.

REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS

  • Version: v1.6.0
  • --track-mode: Tracking mode for releases: `helm` (default), `helm-legacy` (Helm v4 only), or `kubedog`.
  • --track-timeout: Kubedog tracking timeout in seconds; `0` uses the default 300-second timeout.
  • Prerequisite: Helm and helm-diff must be installed for Helmfile to delegate to Helm.
  • The parallel tracking behavior applies with `--track-mode kubedog`.
  • A tracker that does not return within the release timeout is treated as a failure.
