helm dependency

Manage a chart’s dependencies

Synopsis

Manage the dependencies of a chart.

Helm charts store their dependencies in ‘charts/’. For chart developers, it isoften easier to manage a single dependency file (‘requirements.yaml’)which declares all dependencies.

The dependency commands operate on that file, making it easy to synchronizebetween the desired dependencies and the actual dependencies stored in the‘charts/’ directory.

A ‘requirements.yaml’ file is a YAML file in which developers can declare chartdependencies, along with the location of the chart and the desired version.For example, this requirements file declares two dependencies:

# requirements.yaml
dependencies:
- name: nginx
  version: "1.2.3"
  repository: "https://example.com/charts"
- name: memcached
  version: "3.2.1"
  repository: "https://another.example.com/charts"

The ‘name’ should be the name of a chart, where that name must match the namein that chart’s ‘Chart.yaml’ file.

The ‘version’ field should contain a semantic version or version range.

The ‘repository’ URL should point to a Chart Repository. Helm expects that byappending ‘/index.yaml’ to the URL, it should be able to retrieve the chartrepository’s index. Note: ‘repository’ can be an alias. The alias must startwith ‘alias:’ or ‘@’.

Starting from 2.2.0, repository can be defined as the path to the directory ofthe dependency charts stored locally. The path should start with a prefix of“file://“. For example,

# requirements.yaml
dependencies:
- name: nginx
  version: "1.2.3"
  repository: "file://../dependency-chart/nginx"

If the dependency chart is retrieved locally, it is not required to have therepository added to helm by “helm repo add”. Version matching is also supportedfor this case.
