helm --help 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 | |------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | $HELM_CACHE_HOME | set an alternative location for storing cached files. | | $HELM_CONFIG_HOME | set an alternative location for storing Helm configuration. | | $HELM_DATA_HOME | set an alternative location for storing Helm data. | | $HELM_DEBUG | indicate whether or not Helm is running in Debug mode | | $HELM_DRIVER | set the backend storage driver. Values are: configmap, secret, memory, sql. | | $HELM_DRIVER_SQL_CONNECTION_STRING | set the connection string the SQL storage driver should use. | | $HELM_MAX_HISTORY | set the maximum number of helm release history. | | $HELM_NAMESPACE | set the namespace used for the helm operations. | | $HELM_NO_PLUGINS | disable plugins. Set HELM_NO_PLUGINS=1 to disable plugins. | | $HELM_PLUGINS | set the path to the plugins directory | | $HELM_REGISTRY_CONFIG | set the path to the registry config file. | | $HELM_REPOSITORY_CACHE | set the path to the repository cache directory | | $HELM_REPOSITORY_CONFIG | set the path to the repositories file. | | $KUBECONFIG | set an alternative Kubernetes configuration file (default "~/.kube/config") | | $HELM_KUBEAPISERVER | set the Kubernetes API Server Endpoint for authentication | | $HELM_KUBECAFILE | set the Kubernetes certificate authority file. | | $HELM_KUBEASGROUPS | set the Groups to use for impersonation using a comma-separated list. | | $HELM_KUBEASUSER | set the Username to impersonate for the operation. | | $HELM_KUBECONTEXT | set the name of the kubeconfig context. | | $HELM_KUBETOKEN | set the Bearer KubeToken used for authentication. |
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 | Usage: helm [command]

Helm v2 --help[edit]
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 Usage: helm [command] Available Commands: completion Generate autocompletions script for the specified shell (bash or zsh) create Create a new chart with the given name delete Given a release name, delete the release from Kubernetes dependency Manage a chart's dependencies fetch Download a chart from a repository and (optionally) unpack it in local directory get Download a named release help Help about any command history Fetch release history home Displays the location of HELM_HOME init Initialize Helm on both client and server inspect Inspect a chart install Install a chart archive lint Examines a chart for possible issues list List releases package Package a chart directory into a chart archive plugin Add, list, or remove Helm plugins repo Add, list, remove, update, and index chart repositories reset Uninstalls Tiller from a cluster rollback Rollback a release to a previous revision search Search for a keyword in charts serve Start a local http web server status Displays the status of the named release template Locally render templates test Test a release upgrade Upgrade a release verify Verify that a chart at the given path has been signed and is valid version Print the client/server version information Flags: --debug Enable verbose output -h, --help help for helm --home string Location of your Helm config. Overrides $HELM_HOME (default "/Users/el/.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") Use "helm [command] --help" for more information about a command.
