# Roadmap

!!! hint "Work in Progress"
    We will be building the roadmap together with the Flux community,
    our end-users and everyone who is interested in integrating with us.
    So a lot of this is still TBD - read this as our shopping list of
    ideas after some brainstorming as Flux maintainers.

## The road to Flux v2

### Flux read-only feature parity

[= 80% "80%"]

This would be the first stepping stone: we want the GitOps Toolkit to be on-par with today's Flux in
[read-only mode](https://github.com/fluxcd/flux/blob/master/docs/faq.md#can-i-run-flux-with-readonly-git-access)
and [FluxCloud](https://github.com/justinbarrick/fluxcloud) notifications.

Goals

-  Offer an in-place migration tool for those that are using Flux in read-only mode to synchronize plain manifests
-  Offer a migration guide for those that are using Flux in read-only mode to synchronize Kustomize overlays
-  <span class="check-bullet">:material-check-bold:</span> [Offer a dedicated component for forwarding events to external messaging platforms](https://toolkit.fluxcd.io/guides/notifications/)

Non-Goals

-  Migrate users that are using Flux to run custom scripts with `flux.yaml`
-  Automate the migration of `flux.yaml` kustomize users

Tasks

- [x]  <span style="color:grey">Design the events API</span>
- [x]  <span style="color:grey">Implement events in source and kustomize controllers</span>
- [x]  <span style="color:grey">Make the kustomize-controller apply/gc events on-par with Flux v1 apply events</span>
- [x]  <span style="color:grey">Design the notifications and events filtering API</span>
- [x]  <span style="color:grey">Implement a notification controller for Slack, MS Teams, Discord, Rocket</span>
- [x]  <span style="color:grey">Implement Prometheus metrics in source and kustomize controllers</span>
- [ ]  Review the git source and kustomize APIs
- [ ]  Implement the migration command in tk
- [ ]  Create a migration guide for `flux.yaml` kustomize users
- [ ]  Include [support for SOPS](https://github.com/fluxcd/toolkit/discussions/156)

### Flux image update feature parity

[= 0% "0%"]

Goals

-  Offer components that can replace Flux v1 image update feature

Non-Goals

-  Maintain backwards compatibility with Flux v1 annotations

Tasks

- [ ]  [Design the image scanning and automation API](https://github.com/fluxcd/toolkit/discussions/107)
- [ ]  Implement an image scanning controller
- [ ]  Design the automation component
- [ ]  Implement the image scan/patch/push workflow
- [ ]  Integrate the new components in the toolkit assembler
- [ ]  Create a migration guide from Flux annotations

## The road to Helm Operator v2

### Helm v3 feature parity

[= 70% "70%"]

Goals

-  Offer a migration guide for those that are using Helm Operator with Helm v3 and charts from
   Helm and Git repositories

Non-Goals

-  Migrate users that are using Helm v2

Tasks

- [x]  <span style="color:grey">Implement a Helm controller for Helm v3 covering all the current release options</span>
- [x]  <span style="color:grey">Discuss and design Helm releases based on source API:</span>
    * [x]  <span style="color:grey">Providing values from sources</span>
    * [x]  <span style="color:grey">Conditional remediation on failed Helm actions</span>
    * [x]  <span style="color:grey">Support for Helm charts from Git</span>
- [x]  <span style="color:grey">Review the Helm release, chart and repository APIs</span>
- [x]  <span style="color:grey">Implement events in Helm controller</span>
- [x]  <span style="color:grey">Implement Prometheus metrics in Helm controller</span>
- [x]  <span style="color:grey">Implement support for values from `Secret` and `ConfigMap` resources</span>
- [ ]  [Implement conditional remediation on (failed) Helm actions](https://github.com/fluxcd/helm-controller/issues/41)
- [ ]  [Implement support for Helm charts from Git](https://github.com/fluxcd/source-controller/issues/56)
