Overriding helm values file

/ 1 min read

💻 Tech

During helm install, there might be an existing process that uses a values file (e.g., helm-values.yaml) that’s used to create a new release. For example, helm install release-name repo/chart -f helm-values.yaml. The file maybe containing default values, but what if you want to override them? You can use the --set argument: helm install release-name repo/chart -f helm-values.yaml --set database.host=$SOME_DB_HOST_VAR.
