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")
Usage:
helm [command]
Available Commands:
completion Generate autocompletions script for the specified shell (bash or zsh)
create create a new chart with the given name
delete given a release name, delete the release from Kubernetes

serve start a local http web server
status displays the status of the named release
template locally render templates
test test a release

Flags:
--debug enable verbose output
-h, --help help for helm
--home string location of your Helm config. Overrides $HELM_HOME (default "/Users/rimas/.helm")

We definitely still suggest that dashes are acceptable for chart packages, but users should be aware of the limitations of dashes in variable names in Go templates.
Adds the `--set-file key=filepath` flag to `install`, `upgrade`, `template` and `lint` sub-commands so that the content of the file at the `filepath` is set to the value for the `key`.

When using helm/tiller in tls-verify mode, 127.0.0.1 should
be listed as an IP SAN in the tiller certificate to pass
hostname verficiation of the TLS handshake.
Closes#4149
`Kind` being upper case makes it seem like we're referrring to
the Kind field of a Kubernetes resource but we're really talking
about the kind of helm hook in this case.
