Helm Dashboard

TL;DR;

helm repo add komodorio https://helm-charts.komodor.io
helm repo update
helm upgrade --install helm-dashboard komodorio/helm-dashboard

Introduction

This chart bootstraps a Helm Dashboard deployment on a Kubernetes cluster using the Helm package manager.

While installed inside cluster, Helm Dashboard will run some additional backgroud actions, for example, will automatically update Helm repositories. To enable that behavior locally, set HD_CLUSTER_MODE env variable.

Prerequisites

• Kubernetes 1.16+

Installing the Chart

To install the chart with the release name helm-dashboard:

helm install helm-dashboard .

The command deploys Helm Dashboard on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. The Parameters section lists the parameters that can be configured during installation.

Tip: List all releases using helm list

Uninstalling the Chart

To uninstall/delete the helm-dashboard deployment:

helm uninstall helm-dashboard

The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.

Adding Authentication

The task of authentication and user control is out of scope for Helm Dashboard. Luckily, there are third-party solutions which are dedicated to provide that functionality.

For instance, you can place authentication proxy in front of Helm Dashboard, like this one: https://github.com/oauth2-proxy/oauth2-proxy
