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 a string value use '–set-string'. 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 myredis ./redis
or
$ helm install --set name=prod myredis ./redis
or
$ helm install --set-string long_int=1234567890 myredis ./redis
or
$ helm install --set-file my_script=[dothings.sh](dothings.sh) myredis ./redis
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 myredis ./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 myredis ./redis
To check the generated manifests of a release without installing the chart, the '–debug' and '–dry-run' flags can be combined.
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 mymaria example/mariadb
- By path to a packaged chart: helm install mynginx ./nginx-1.2.3.tgz
- By path to an unpacked chart directory: helm install mynginx ./nginx
- By absolute URL: helm install mynginx https://example.com/charts/nginx-1.2.3.tgz
- By chart reference and repo url: helm install –repo https://example.com/charts/ mynginx nginx
CHART REFERENCES
A chart reference is a convenient way of referencing a chart in a chart repository.
When you use a chart reference with a repo prefix ('example/mariadb'), Helm will look in the local configuration for a chart repository named 'example', and will then look for a chart in that repository whose name is 'mariadb'. It will install the latest stable version of that chart until you specify '–devel' flag to also include development version (alpha, beta, and release candidate releases), or 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'.
Syntax
werf helm install [NAME] [CHART] [flags] [options]
Options
--add-annotation=[]
Add annotation to deploying resources (can specify multiple).
