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
