ameyrupji.local-helm

This repository outlines the steps to setup Helm on the Kubernetes cluster on MacOS.

Prerequisites

System Configuration at time of test

  • macOS Mojave - Version 10.14.6

Installation instructions

Brew install

These instructions are used to install Helm using brew. Run the following command in a terminal: brew install kubernetes-helm

terminal brew install kubernetes helm 1

terminal brew install kubernetes helm 2

terminal brew install kubernetes helm 3

Installing Tiller

Tiller, the server portion of Helm, typically runs inside of your Kubernetes cluster. But for development, it can also be run locally, and configured to talk to a remote Kubernetes cluster.

Run the following command on the terminal to initialize Helm: helm init and install Tiller.

This should install and start up tiller pod. To view if the pod is running run the following command: kubectl get pods --namespace kube-system

terminal helm init

Upgrading Tiller

As of Helm 2.2.0, Tiller can be upgraded using helm init --upgrade

Test

Open Safari it by going to URL on other network computer and go to the following link: http:https://ameyrupji.local/k8s/dashboard

safari network tiller deployed

Cleanup

Because Tiller stores its data in Kubernetes ConfigMaps, you can safely delete and re-install Tiller without worrying about losing any data. The recommended way of deleting Tiller is with kubectl delete deployment tiller-deploy --namespace kube-system, or more concisely helm reset.

Tiller can then be re-installed from the client with: helm init
