helm install --help This command installs a chart archive. The install argument must be a chart reference, a path to a packaged chart, a path to an unpacked chart directory or a URL. To override values in a chart, use either the '--values' flag and pass in a file or use the '--set' flag and pass configuration from the command line, to force a string value use '--set-string'. In case a value is large and therefore you want not to use neither '--values' nor '--set', use '--set-file' to read the single large value from file.
$ helm install -f myvalues.yaml myredis ./redis or $ helm install --set name=prod myredis ./redis or $ helm install --set-string long_int=1234567890 myredis ./redis or $ helm install --set-file my_script=dothings.sh myredis ./redis You can specify the '--values'/'-f' flag multiple times. The priority will be given to the last (right-most) file specified. For example, if both myvalues.yaml and override.yaml contained a key called 'Test', the value set in override.yaml would take precedence: $ helm install -f myvalues.yaml -f override.yaml myredis ./redis You can specify the '--set' flag multiple times. The priority will be given to the last (right-most) set specified. For example, if both 'bar' and 'newbar' values are set for a key called 'foo', the 'newbar' value would take precedence: $ helm install --set foo=bar --set foo=newbar myredis ./redis To check the generated manifests of a release without installing the chart, the '--debug' and '--dry-run' flags can be combined. If --verify is set, the chart MUST have a provenance file, and the provenance file MUST pass all verification steps. There are five different ways you can express the chart you want to install: 1. By chart reference: helm install mymaria example/mariadb 2. By path to a packaged chart: helm install mynginx ./nginx-1.2.3.tgz 3. By path to an unpacked chart directory: helm install mynginx ./nginx 4. By absolute URL: helm install mynginx https://example.com/charts/nginx-1.2.3.tgz 5. By chart reference and repo url: helm install --repo https://example.com/charts/ mynginx nginx CHART REFERENCES A chart reference is a convenient way of referencing a chart in a chart repository. When you use a chart reference with a repo prefix ('example/mariadb'), Helm will look in the local configuration for a chart repository named 'example', and will then look for a chart in that repository whose name is 'mariadb'. It will install the latest stable version of that chart until you specify '--devel' flag to also include development version (alpha, beta, and release candidate releases), or supply a version number with the '--version' flag. To see the list of chart repositories, use 'helm repo list'. To search for charts in a repository, use 'helm search'. Usage: helm install [NAME] [CHART] [flags] Flags: --atomic if set, the installation process deletes the installation on failure. The --wait flag will be set automatically if --atomic is used --ca-file string verify certificates of HTTPS-enabled servers using this CA bundle --cert-file string identify HTTPS client using this SSL certificate file --create-namespace create the release namespace if not present --dependency-update update dependencies if they are missing before installing the chart --description string add a custom description --devel use development versions, too. Equivalent to version '>0.0.0-0'. If --version is set, this is ignored --disable-openapi-validation if set, the installation process will not validate rendered templates against the Kubernetes OpenAPI Schema --dry-run simulate an install -g, --generate-name generate the name (and omit the NAME parameter) -h, --help help for install --insecure-skip-tls-verify skip tls certificate checks for the chart download --key-file string identify HTTPS client using this SSL key file --keyring string location of public keys used for verification (default "/Users/k/.gnupg/pubring.gpg") --name-template string specify template used to name the release --no-hooks prevent hooks from running during install -o, --output format prints the output in the specified format. Allowed values: table, json, yaml (default table) --pass-credentials pass credentials to all domains --password string chart repository password where to locate the requested chart --post-renderer postrenderer the path to an executable to be used for post rendering. If it exists in $PATH, the binary will be used, otherwise it will try to look for the executable at the given path (default exec) --render-subchart-notes if set, render subchart notes along with the parent --replace re-use the given name, only if that name is a deleted release which remains in the history. This is unsafe in production --repo string chart repository url where to locate the requested chart --set stringArray set values on the command line (can specify multiple or separate values with commas: key1=val1,key2=val2) --set-file stringArray set values from respective files specified via the command line (can specify multiple or separate values with commas: key1=path1,key2=path2) --set-string stringArray set STRING values on the command line (can specify multiple or separate values with commas: key1=val1,key2=val2) --skip-crds if set, no CRDs will be installed. By default, CRDs are installed if not already present --timeout duration time to wait for any individual Kubernetes operation (like Jobs for hooks) (default 5m0s) --username string chart repository username where to locate the requested chart -f, --values strings specify values in a YAML file or a URL (can specify multiple) --verify verify the package before using it --version string specify a version constraint for the chart version to use. This constraint can be a specific tag (e.g. 1.1.1) or it may reference a valid range (e.g. ^2.0.0). If this is not specified, the latest version is used --wait if set, will wait until all Pods, PVCs, Services, and minimum number of Pods of a Deployment, StatefulSet, or ReplicaSet are in a ready state before marking the release as successful. It will wait for as long as --timeout --wait-for-jobs if set and --wait enabled, will wait until all Jobs have been completed before marking the release as successful. It will wait for as long as --timeout Global Flags: --debug enable verbose output --kube-apiserver string the address and the port for the Kubernetes API server --kube-as-group stringArray group to impersonate for the operation, this flag can be repeated to specify multiple groups. --kube-as-user string username to impersonate for the operation --kube-ca-file string the certificate authority file for the Kubernetes API server connection --kube-context string name of the kubeconfig context to use --kube-token string bearer token used for authentication --kubeconfig string path to the kubeconfig file -n, --namespace string namespace scope for this request --registry-config string path to the registry config file (default "/Users/k/Library/Preferences/helm/registry.json") --repository-cache string path to the file containing cached repository indexes (default "/Users/k/Library/Caches/helm/repository") --repository-config string path to the file containing repository names and URLs (default "/Users/k/Library/Preferences/helm/repositories.yaml")
