⚠️
Important notice: Helm v2 EOL On November 13, 2020, Helm v2 support will formally end, Bitnami Helm Charts are going to be adapted to support the ability to implement the incorporation of different features added in Helm v3 and also to be consistent with the Helm project itself regarding the Helm v2 EOL.
All the Bitnami Helm Charts are going to be updated in a major version applying the required changes, being the main one the update of the apiVersion
. The current version of Bitnami Helm Charts use apiVersion: v1
(installable by both Helm 2 and 3), charts are going to be updated to apiVersion: v2
(installable by Helm 3 only). Here you can find more information about the apiVersion
field.
We will start moving the Bitnami Helm Charts (and deprecating Helm v2) on November 13th and we plan to have the whole catalog migrated before the 1st of December.
In the "Upgrade" section of every Helm Chart README, you will find the upgrade notes and instructions when a major version including those changes appeared.

Once you have installed the Helm client, you can deploy a Bitnami Helm Chart into a Kubernetes cluster.
Please refer to the Quick Start guide if you wish to get running in just a few commands, otherwise the Using Helm Guide provides detailed instructions on how to use the Helm client to manage packages on your Kubernetes cluster.
