helm

The Helm package manager for Kubernetes.

Synopsis

The Kubernetes package manager

To begin working with Helm, run the ‘helm init’ command:

$ helm init

This will install Tiller to your running Kubernetes cluster. It will also set up any necessary local configuration.

Common actions from this point include:

• helm search: search for charts
• helm fetch: download a chart to your local directory to view
• helm install: upload the chart to Kubernetes
• helm list: list releases of charts

Environment:

• $HELM-HOME: set an alternative location for Helm files. By default, these are stored in ~/.helm
• $HELM-HOST: set an alternative Tiller host. The format is host:port
• $HELM-NO-PLUGINS: disable plugins. Set HELM-NO-PLUGINS=1 to disable plugins.
• $TILLER-NAMESPACE: set an alternative Tiller namespace (default “kube-system”)
• $KUBECONFIG: set an alternative Kubernetes configuration file (default “~/.kube/config”)
• $HELM-TLS-CA-CERT: path to TLS CA certificate used to verify the Helm client and Tiller server certificates (default “$HELM-HOME/ca.pem”)
• $HELM-TLS-CERT: path to TLS client certificate file for authenticating to Tiller (default “$HELM-HOME/cert.pem”)
• $HELM-TLS-KEY: path to TLS client key file for authenticating to Tiller (default “$HELM-HOME/key.pem”)
• $HELM-TLS-ENABLE: enable TLS connection between Helm and Tiller (default “false”)
• $HELM-TLS-VERIFY: enable TLS connection between Helm and Tiller and verify Tiller server certificate (default “false”)
• $HELM-TLS-HOSTNAME: the hostname or IP address used to verify the Tiller server certificate (default “127.0.0.1”)
• $HELM-KEY-PASSPHRASE: set HELM-KEY-PASSPHRASE to the passphrase of your PGP private key. If set, you will not be prompted for the passphrase while signing helm charts
