helm-install: Install a helm chart passing a custom values file.
$ helm install ${name} ${repository_name}/${chart_name} --values ${path-to-values-yaml}
try on your machine
This command is using the Helm package manager to install a chart (a pre-configured application package) in a Kubernetes cluster. Let's break it down:
helm install
is the Helm command used to install a chart.${name}
is a placeholder for the name you want to give to the release of the chart being installed. The release acts as an instance of the chart in your cluster.${repository_name}/${chart_name}
represents the repository name and the chart name. Helm retrieves charts from repositories, and this part specifies which repository to fetch the chart from and the name of the chart to install.--values ${path-to-values-yaml}
is an optional flag that allows you to specify a custom values.yaml file for configuring the chart. Values.yaml contains the default configuration options for the chart, and by specifying this flag, you can override those defaults with your own configuration values.
So, when you run this command, Helm will fetch the specified chart from the repository, install it in your cluster, and create a release with the given name. If you provide a values.yaml file, Helm will use it to customize the configuration of the chart during installation.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
