Helm

helm

The Helm package manager for Kubernetes.

Synopsis

The Kubernetes package manager

Common actions for Helm:

• helm search: search for charts
• helm pull: download a chart to your local directory to view
• helm install: upload the chart to Kubernetes
• helm list: list releases of charts

Environment variables:

+——————+—————————————————————————–+ | Name | Description | +——————+—————————————————————————–+ | $XDG_CACHE_HOME | set an alternative location for storing cached files. | | $XDG_CONFIG_HOME | set an alternative location for storing Helm configuration. | | $XDG_DATA_HOME | set an alternative location for storing Helm data. | | $HELM_DRIVER | set the backend storage driver. Values are: configmap, secret, memory | | $HELM_NO_PLUGINS | disable plugins. Set HELM_NO_PLUGINS=1 to disable plugins. | | $KUBECONFIG | set an alternative Kubernetes configuration file (default “~/.kube/config”) | +——————+—————————————————————————–+

Helm stores configuration based on the XDG base directory specification, so

• cached files are stored in $XDG_CACHE_HOME/helm
• configuration is stored in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/helm
• data is stored in $XDG_DATA_HOME/helm

By default, the default directories depend on the Operating System. The defaults are listed below:

+——————+—————————+——————————–+————————-+ | Operating System | Cache Path | Configuration Path | Data Path | +——————+—————————+——————————–+————————-+ | Linux | $HOME/.cache/helm | $HOME/.config/helm | $HOME/.local/share/helm | | macOS | $HOME/Library/Caches/helm | $HOME/Library/Preferences/helm | $HOME/Library/helm | | Windows | %TEMP%\helm | %APPDATA%\helm | %APPDATA%\helm | +——————+—————————+——————————–+————————-+
