resolves#4337
Merging maps inside of strings gets a bit tricky. When two
strings consisting of "{}" were being added together, this resulted in
"{}\n{}" instead of "{}" which is what we wanted. This led to YAML
parsing errors and showed up when the `--reuse-values` flag was used
when no overrides via `--set` were provided during install and/or
upgrade.
when running `helm init --upgrade`, the entrypoint since v2.9.1 changed which
caused tiller to never start. Kubernetes may be holding onto the same entrypoint
during upgrades.
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
dependency manage a chart's dependencies
fetch download a chart from a repository and (optionally) unpack it in local directory
get download a named release
history fetch release history
home displays the location of HELM_HOME
init initialize Helm on both client and server
inspect inspect a chart
install install a chart archive
lint examines a chart for possible issues
list list releases
package package a chart directory into a chart archive
plugin add, list, or remove Helm plugins
repo add, list, remove, update, and index chart repositories
reset uninstalls Tiller from a cluster
rollback roll back a release to a previous revision
search search for a keyword in charts
serve start a local http web server
status displays the status of the named release
template locally render templates
test test a release
upgrade upgrade a release
verify verify that a chart at the given path has been signed and is valid
version print the client/server version information
Flags:
--debug enable verbose output
-h, --help help for helm
--home string location of your Helm config. Overrides $HELM_HOME (default "/Users/rimas/.helm")
--host string address of Tiller. Overrides $HELM_HOST
--kube-context string name of the kubeconfig context to use
--tiller-connection-timeout int the duration (in seconds) Helm will wait to establish a connection to tiller (default 300)
--tiller-namespace string namespace of Tiller (default "kube-system")
Use "helm [command] --help" for more information about a command. one
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.
tiller's rendering engine converts os filepath separators into unix-style filepath separators, so we need to split template names with a forward slash.
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`.
