Charts are packages of 6 pre-configured Kubernetes resources. 7 8 Use Helm to... 9 10 - Find and use popular software packaged as Kubernetes charts 11 - Share your own applications as Kubernetes charts 12 - Create reproducible builds of your Kubernetes applications 13 - Intelligently manage your Kubernetes manifest files 14 - Manage releases of Helm packages 15 16 ## Helm in a Handbasket 17 18 Helm is a tool that streamlines installing and managing Kubernetes applications. 19 Think of it like apt/yum/homebrew for Kubernetes. 20 21 - Helm has two parts: a client (`helm`) and a server (`tiller`) 22 - Tiller runs inside of your Kubernetes cluster, and manages releases (installations) 23 of your charts. 24 - Helm runs on your laptop, CI/CD, or wherever you want it to run. 25 - Charts are Helm packages that contain at least two things: 26 - A description of the package (`Chart.yaml`) 27 - One or more templates, which contain Kubernetes manifest files 28 - Charts can be stored on disk, or fetched from remote chart repositories 29 (like Debian or RedHat packages) 30 31 ## Install 32 33 Binary downloads of the Helm client can be found at the following links: 34 35 - [OSX](https://kubernetes-helm.storage.googleapis.com/helm-v2.1.2-darwin-amd64.tar.gz) 36 - [Linux](https://kubernetes-helm.storage.googleapis.com/helm-v2.1.2-linux-amd64.tar.gz) 37 - [Linux 32-bit](https://kubernetes-helm.storage.googleapis.com/helm-v2.1.2-linux-386.tar.gz) 38 39 Unpack the `helm` binary and add it to your PATH and you are good to go! OS X/[Cask](https://caskroom.github.io/) users can `brew cask install helm`. 40 41 To rapidly get Helm up and running, start with the [Quick Start Guide](docs/quickstart.md). 42 43 See the [installation guide](docs/install.md) for more options, 44 including installing pre-releases. 45 46 47 ## Docs 48 49 - [Quick Start](docs/quickstart.md) 50 - [Installing Helm](docs/install.md) 51 - [Kubernetes Distribution Notes](docs/kubernetes_distros.md) 52 - [Frequently Asked Questions](docs/install_faq.md) 53 - [Using Helm](docs/using_helm.md) 54 - [Plugins](docs/plugins.md) 55 - [Developing Charts](docs/charts.md) 56 - [Chart Lifecycle Hooks](docs/charts_hooks.md) 57 - [Chart Tips and Tricks](docs/charts_tips_and_tricks.md) 58 - [Chart Repository Guide](docs/chart_repository.md) 59 - [Syncing your Chart Repository](docs/chart_repository_sync_example.md) 60 - [Signing Charts](docs/provenance.md) 61 - [Chart Template Developer's Guide](docs/chart_template_guide/index.md) 62 - [Getting Started with Templates](docs/chart_template_guide/getting_started.md) 63 - [Built-in Objects](docs/chart_template_guide/builtin_objects.md) 64 - [Values Files](docs/chart_template_guide/values_files.md) 65 - [Functions and Pipelines](docs/chart_template_guide/functions_and_pipelines.md) 66 - [Flow Control (if/else, with, range, whitespace management)](docs/chart_template_guide/control_structures.md) 67 - [Variables](docs/chart_template_guide/variables.md) 68 - [Named Templates (Partials)](docs/chart_template_guide/named_templates.md) 69 - [Accessing Files Inside Templates](docs/chart_template_guide/accessing_files.md) 70 - [Creating a NOTES.txt File](docs/chart_template_guide/notes_files.md) 71 - [Subcharts and Global Values](docs/chart_template_guide/subcharts_and_globals.md) 72 - [Debugging Templates](docs/chart_template_guide/debugging.md) 73 - [Wrapping Up](docs/chart_template_guide/wrapping_up.md) 74 - [Appendix A: YAML Techniques](docs/chart_template_guide/yaml_techniques.md) 75 - [Appendix B: Go Data Types](docs/chart_template_guide/data_types.md) 76 - [Architecture](docs/architecture.md) 77 - [Developers](docs/developers.md) 78 - [History](docs/history.md) 79 - [Glossary](docs/glossary.md) 80 81 ## Community, discussion, contribution, and support 82 83 You can reach the Helm community and developers via the following channels: 84 85 - [Kubernetes Slack](https://slack.k8s.io): #helm 86 - Mailing List: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/kubernetes-sig-apps 87 - Developer Call: Thursdays at 9:30-10:00 Pacific. https://engineyard.zoom.us/j/366425549 88 89 ### Code of conduct 90 91 Participation in the Kubernetes community is governed by the [Kubernetes Code of Conduct](code-of-conduct.md).
