helm install with multiple --set parameters (maybe missing documentation)

[chucky2305]

#values.yml
namespace: defaultnamespace
secrets:
   database: defaultdatabase
   password: defaultpassword

helm install mychart --set secrets.database=mydatabase --set secrets.password=mypassword
This will only change the value for password. database will still remain with "defaultdatabase"

This is the correct way to pass two values that lie under the same node in values.yaml
helm install chartsendis --set secrets.database=mydatabase,secrets.password=mypassword

What i found out later. Calling
helm install chartsendis --set secrets.database=mydatabase,secrets.password=mypassword --set namespace=anothernamespace

doesn't work either. In this case only "namespace" is set to "anothernamespace". both values from "secrets" remain in their default values.

If this happends by design, i maybe just did not find the documentation for this. If it is missing i could help you to make it more clear in the documentation.

Greetings,
Chucky

Hi @chucky2305

Im not sure why your first example isn't working. What version of Helm are you using?

I learned that i need to write it like this:
helm install mychart --set secrets.database=mydatabase,secrets.password=mypassword
