helm
The Helm package manager for Kubernetes.
Synopsis
The Kubernetes package manager
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")
- $HELM_TLS_CA_CERT: path to TLS CA certificate used to verify the Helm client and Tiller server certificates (default "$HELM_HOME/ca.pem")
- $HELM_TLS_CERT: path to TLS client certificate file for authenticating to Tiller (default "$HELM_HOME/cert.pem")
- $HELM_TLS_KEY: path to TLS client key file for authenticating to Tiller (default "$HELM_HOME/key.pem")
- $HELM_TLS_ENABLE: enable TLS connection between Helm and Tiller (default "false")
- $HELM_TLS_VERIFY: enable TLS connection between Helm and Tiller and verify Tiller server certificate (default "false")
- $HELM_TLS_HOSTNAME: the hostname or IP address used to verify the Tiller server certificate (default "127.0.0.1")
- $HELM_KEY_PASSPHRASE: set HELM_KEY_PASSPHRASE to the passphrase of your PGP private key. If set, you will not be prompted for the passphrase while signing helm charts
