Kubernetes Distribution Guide

This document captures information about using Helm in specific Kubernetes environments.

We are trying to add more details to this document. Please contribute via Pull Requests if you can.

MiniKube

Helm is tested and known to work with minikube. It requires no additional configuration.

scripts/local-cluster and Hyperkube

Hyperkube configured via scripts/local-cluster.sh is known to work. For raw Hyperkube you may need to do some manual configuration.

GKE

Google's GKE hosted Kubernetes platform is known to work with Helm, and requires no additional configuration.

Ubuntu with 'kubeadm'

Kubernetes bootstrapped with kubeadm is known to work on the following Linux distributions:

• Ubuntu 16.04
• CAN SOMEONE CONFIRM ON FEDORA?

Some versions of Helm (v2.0.0-beta2) require you to export KUBECONFIG=/etc/kubernetes/admin.conf or create a ~/.kube/config.

Container Linux by CoreOS

Helm requires that kubelet have access to a copy of the socat program to proxy connections to the Tiller API. On Container Linux the Kubelet runs inside of a hyperkube container image that has socat. So, even though Container Linux doesn't ship socat the container filesystem running kubelet does have socat. To learn move read the Kubelet Wrapper docs.
