Create helm chart

Running the command:

bash

helm create newone

will generate a new Helm chart scaffold named newone in your current directory. Helm is a package manager for Kubernetes, and a "chart" is a package of pre-configured Kubernetes resources.

Here's what happens when you run that command:

It creates a directory called newone/, and inside you'll find a full chart structure like:

pgsql

newone/
├── .helmignore          # Patterns to ignore when packaging
├── Chart.yaml           # Chart metadata
├── values.yaml          # Default configuration values
├── charts/              # Subcharts go here
├── templates/           # Kubernetes manifests go here
│   ├── deployment.yaml
│   ├── _helpers.tpl
│   ├── hpa.yaml
│   ├── ingress.yaml
│   ├── service.yaml
│   ├── serviceaccount.yaml
│   └── tests/
│       └── test-connection.yaml

 What you can do with it:

  • Customize the templates/ files to define your Kubernetes resources.

  • Adjust values.yaml to set default values for those templates.

  • Run helm install to deploy your chart to a Kubernetes cluster.

It's basically a starting point for building your own deployable Helm chart.

Want to break down any of those files or see how to tweak them?
