Please contribute via Pull 7 Requests if you can. 8 9 ## MiniKube 10 11 Helm is tested and known to work with [minikube](https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube). 12 It requires no additional configuration. 13 14 ## `scripts/local-cluster` and Hyperkube 15 16 Hyperkube configured via `scripts/local-cluster.sh` is known to work. For raw 17 Hyperkube you may need to do some manual configuration. 18 19 ## GKE 20 21 Google's GKE hosted Kubernetes platform is known to work with Helm, and requires 22 no additional configuration. 23 24 ## Ubuntu with 'kubeadm' 25 26 Kubernetes bootstrapped with `kubeadm` is known to work on the following Linux 27 distributions: 28 29 - Ubuntu 16.04 30 - Fedora release 25 31 32 Some versions of Helm (v2.0.0-beta2) require you to `export KUBECONFIG=/etc/kubernetes/admin.conf` 33 or create a `~/.kube/config`. 34 35 ## Container Linux by CoreOS 36 37 Helm requires that kubelet have access to a copy of the `socat` program to proxy connections to the Tiller API. On Container Linux the Kubelet runs inside of a [hyperkube](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/tree/master/cluster/images/hyperkube) container image that has socat. So, even though Container Linux doesn't ship `socat` the container filesystem running kubelet does have socat. To learn more read the [Kubelet Wrapper](https://coreos.com/kubernetes/docs/latest/kubelet-wrapper.html) docs. 38 39 ## Openshift 40 41 Helm works straightforward on OpenShift Online, OpenShift Dedicated, OpenShift Container Platform (version >= 3.6) or OpenShift Origin (version >= 3.6). To learn more read [this blog](https://blog.openshift.com/getting-started-helm-openshift/) post. 42 43 ## Platform9 44 45 Helm Client and Helm Server (Tiller) are pre-installed with [Platform9 Managed Kubernetes](https://platform9.com/managed-kubernetes/?utm_source=helm_distro_notes). Platform9 provides access to all official Helm charts through the App Catalog UI and native Kubernetes CLI. Additional repositories can be manually added. Further details are availble in this [Platform9 App Catalog article](https://platform9.com/support/deploying-kubernetes-apps-platform9-managed-kubernetes/?utm_source=helm_distro_notes).
