Helm Charts
Use this repository to submit official Charts for Kubernetes Helm. Charts are curated application definitions for Kubernetes Helm. For more information about installing and using Helm, see its README.md. To get a quick introduction to Charts see this chart document.
How do I install these charts?
Just helm install stable/<chart>. This is the default repository for Helm and is installed by default.
For more information on using Helm, refer to the Helm's documentation.
How do I enable the Incubator repository?
To add the Incubator charts for your local client, run helm repo add:
$ helm repo add incubator https://kubernetes-charts-incubator.storage.googleapis.com/
"incubator" has been added to your repositories
You can then run helm search incubator to see the charts.
Chart Format
Take a look at the alpine example chart and the nginx example chart for reference when you're writing your first few charts.
Before contributing a Chart, become familiar with the format. Note that the project is still under active development and the format may still evolve a bit.
Repository Structure
This GitHub repository contains the source for the packaged and versioned charts released in the gs://kubernetes-charts Google Storage bucket (the Chart Repository).
The Charts in the stable/ directory in the master branch of this repository match the latest packaged Chart in the Chart Repository, though there may be previous versions of a Chart available in that Chart Repository.
The purpose of this repository is to provide a place for maintaining and contributing official Charts, with CI processes in place for managing the releasing of Charts into the Chart Repository.
The Charts in this repository are organized into two folders:
- stable
- incubator
Stable Charts meet the criteria in the technical requirements.
Incubator Charts are those that do not meet these criteria. Having the incubator folder allows charts to be shared and improved on until they are ready to be moved into the stable folder. The charts in the incubator/ directory can be found in the gs://kubernetes-charts-incubator Google Storage Bucket.
In order to get a Chart from incubator to stable, Chart maintainers should open a pull request that moves the chart folder.
Contributing a Chart
We'd love for you to contribute a Chart that provides a useful application or service for Kubernetes. Please read our Contribution Guide for more information on how you can contribute Charts.
Note: We use the same workflow, License and Contributor License Agreement as the main Kubernetes repository.
