Add option to force upgrade when install is tracking latest version
If no version is specified in the HelmChart resource it's not possible (or not documented) how to trigger an upgrade without changing an inconsequential value in the spec. A possible solution would be to add a force flag to the spec that the controller sets to false after successful completion or watch for a specific annotation to trigger an upgrade. Alternatively, having documentation that says "here's a safe key in the spec that you can modify to trigger an upgrade.
You can just change the whitespace or a comment in the valuesContent... At the moment the controller does not have any functionality to actually poll the repo for changes to the chart.
I'm not looking for the controller to look for changes in the chart repos. I'm looking for a way to have the controller run the install/upgrade for the latest chart without specifying the version. With Helm CLI I'd run helm upgrade foo with my CD tooling but I can't do that using helm-controller since the HelmChart needs to notice a change. I'd be happy with having the controller running when a specific annotation, like lastUpgraded, is modified on an existing object.
Can't the controller have a scheduled job/routine to run in periods (e.g. every 7 days) and run the necessary helm commands?
Or can't it be defined as if some annotation (or some other condition) is specified on an object, then the controller creates a CronJob instead of a Job?
