Kubernetes Helm Package Manager Commands
Return to kubectl commands, docker commands, Kubernetes, Docker, Helm - Kubernetes Helm - Kubernetes Helm Package Manager all redirects to Helm Kubernetes Package Manager
helmThe 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 | |
———————————— | ———————————————————————————– |
$HELM_CACHE_HOME | |
$HELM_CONFIG_HOME | |
$HELM_DATA_HOME | |
$HELM_DRIVER | set the backend storage driver. Values are: configmap, secret, memory, postgres |
$HELM_DRIVER_SQL_CONNECTION_STRING | |
$HELM_NO_PLUGINS | |
$KUBECONFIG | set an alternative Kubernetes configuration file (default “~/.kube/config”) |
Helm stores cache, configuration, and data based on the following configuration order:
- If a HELM_*_HOME environment variable is set, it will be used - Otherwise, on systems supporting the XDG base directory specification, the XDG variables will be used - When no other location is set a default location will be used based on the operating system
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 |
