Quick Start Guide

Helm Compose makes it easy to define a list of Releases and all necessary Repositories for the charts you use in a single compose file.

Install your releases:

$ helm compose up -f helm-compose.yaml

Uninstall your releases

$ helm compose down -f helm-compose.yaml

A Helm Compose file looks something like this:

apiVersion: 1.1

storage:
  name: mycompose
  type: local # default
  path: .hcstate # default

releases:
  wordpress:
    chart: bitnami/wordpress
    chartVersion: 14.3.2
  wordpress2:
    chart: bitnami/wordpress
    chartVersion: 15.2.22
    namespace: homepage
    createNamespace: true
  postgres:
    chart: bitnami/postgresql
    chartVersion: 12.1.9
    namespace: database
    createNamespace: true

repositories:
  bitnami: https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami
