Helm helps you manage Kubernetes applications — Helm Charts help you define, install, and upgrade even the most complex Kubernetes application.
Charts are easy to create, version, share, and publish — so start using Helm and stop the copy-and-paste.
Helm is a graduated project in the CNCF and is maintained by the Helm community.
Manage Complexity
Charts describe even the most complex apps, provide repeatable application installation, and serve as a single point of authority.
Easy Updates
Take the pain out of updates with in-place upgrades and custom hooks.
Simple Sharing
Charts are easy to version, share, and host on public or private servers.
Rollbacks
Use helm rollback
to roll back to an older version of a release with ease.
Install Helm with a package manager, or download a binary.
Once installed, unpack the helm binary and add it to your PATH and you are good to go! Check the docs for further installation and usage instructions.
More information about the Helm project, and how to contribute.
SIG-Apps is a Special Interest Group for deploying and operating apps in Kubernetes.
They meet each week to demo and discuss tools and projects. Community meetings are recorded and shared to YouTube.
These meetings are open to all. Check the community repo for notes and details.
Helm is a big project with a lot of users and contributors. It can be a lot to take in!
We have a list of good first issues if you want to help but don't know where to start.
Before you contribute some code, please read our Contribution Guide. It goes over the processes around creating and reviewing pull requests.
Once you write some code, please sign your commits to ensure Helm adheres to the DCO agreement used by the CNCF.
