helm install
Install a chart archive
Synopsis
This command installs a chart archive.
The install argument must be a chart reference, a path to a packaged chart, a path to an unpacked chart directory or a URL.
To override values in a chart, use either the '--values' flag and pass in a file or use the '--set' flag and pass configuration from the command line. To force string values in '--set', use '--set-string' instead. In case a value is large and therefore you want not to use neither '--values' nor '--set', use '--set-file' to read the single large value from file.
$ helm install -f myvalues.yaml ./redis
or
$ helm install --set name=prod ./redis
or
$ helm install --set-string long_int=1234567890 ./redis
or $ helm install --set-file multiline_text=path/to/textfile
You can specify the '--values'/'-f' flag multiple times. The priority will be given to the last (right-most) file specified. For example, if both myvalues.yaml and override.yaml contained a key called 'Test', the value set in override.yaml would take precedence:
$ helm install -f myvalues.yaml -f override.yaml ./redis
You can specify the '--set' flag multiple times. The priority will be given to the last (right-most) set specified. For example, if both 'bar' and 'newbar' values are set for a key called 'foo', the 'newbar' value would take precedence:
$ helm install --set foo=bar --set foo=newbar ./redis
To check the generated manifests of a release without installing the chart, the '--debug' and '--dry-run' flags can be combined. This will still require a round-trip to the Tiller server.
If --verify is set, the chart MUST have a provenance file, and the provenance file MUST pass all verification steps.
There are five different ways you can express the chart you want to install:
- By chart reference: helm install stable/mariadb
- By path to a packaged chart: helm install ./nginx-1.2.3.tgz
- By path to an unpacked chart directory: helm install ./nginx
- By absolute URL: helm install https://example.com/charts/nginx-1.2.3.tgz
- By chart reference and repo url: helm install --repo https://example.com/charts/ nginx
CHART REFERENCES
A chart reference is a convenient way of reference a chart in a chart repository.
When you use a chart reference with a repo prefix ('stable/mariadb'), Helm will look in the local configuration for a chart repository named 'stable', and will then look for a chart in that repository whose name is 'mariadb'. It will install the latest version of that chart unless you also supply a version number with the '--version' flag.
To see the list of chart repositories, use 'helm repo list'. To search for charts in a repository, use 'helm search'.
helm install [CHART] [flags]
Options
--atomic If set, installation process purges chart on fail, also sets --wait flag
--ca-file string Verify certificates of HTTPS-enabled servers using this CA bundle
--cert-file string Identify HTTPS client using this SSL certificate file
--dep-up Run helm dependency update before installing the chart
--description string Specify a description for the release
--devel Use development versions, too. Equivalent to version '>0.0.0-0'. If --version is set, this is ignored.
--dry-run Simulate an install
-h, --help help for install
--key-file string Identify HTTPS client using this SSL key file
--keyring string Location of public keys used for verification (default "~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg")
-n, --name string The release name. If unspecified, it will autogenerate one for you
--name-template string Specify template used to name the release
--namespace string Namespace to install the release into. Defaults to the current kube config namespace.
--no-crd-hook Prevent CRD hooks from running, but run other hooks
--no-hooks Prevent hooks from running during install
-o, --output string Prints the output in the specified format. Allowed values: table, json, yaml (default "table")
--password string Chart repository password where to locate the requested chart
--render-subchart-notes Render subchart notes along with the parent
--replace Re-use the given name, even if that name is already used. This is unsafe in production
--repo string Chart repository url where to locate the requested chart
--set stringArray Set values on the command line (can specify multiple or separate values with commas: key1=val1,key2=val2)
--set-file stringArray Set values from respective files specified via the command line (can specify multiple or separate values with commas: key1=path1,key2=path2)
--set-string stringArray Set STRING values on the command line (can specify multiple or separate values with commas: key1=val1,key2=val2)
--timeout int Time in seconds to wait for any individual Kubernetes operation (like Jobs for hooks) (default 300)
--tls Enable TLS for request
--tls-ca-cert string Path to TLS CA certificate file (default "$HELM_HOME/ca.pem")
--tls-cert string Path to TLS certificate file (default "$HELM_HOME/cert.pem")
--tls-hostname string The server name used to verify the hostname on the returned certificates from the server
--tls-key string Path to TLS key file (default "$HELM_HOME/key.pem")
--tls-verify Enable TLS for request and verify remote
--username string Chart repository username where to locate the requested chart
-f, --values valueFiles Specify values in a YAML file or a URL(can specify multiple) (default [])
--verify Verify the package before installing it
--version string Specify the exact chart version to install. If this is not specified, the latest version is installed
--wait If set, will wait until all Pods, PVCs, Services, and minimum number of Pods of a Deployment are in a ready state before marking the release as successful. It will wait for as long as --timeout
Options inherited from parent commands
--debug Enable verbose output
--home string Location of your Helm config. Overrides $HELM_HOME (default "~/.helm")
--host string Address of Tiller. Overrides $HELM_HOST
--kube-context string Name of the kubeconfig context to use
--kubeconfig string Absolute path of the kubeconfig file to be used
--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")
