Chart Repositories

A default repository is included when initializing helm, but it's common to add other repositories. Repositories are currently simple HTTP servers that contain an index file and a tarball of all the Charts present.

You can interact with a repository using the helm repo commands.

helm repo add testing http://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-charts-testing

helm repo list
NAME URL
stable http://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-charts
local http://localhost:8879/charts
testing http://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-charts...

Once you have a repository available, you can search for Charts based on keywords. Below, we search for a redis Chart:

helm search redis

testing/redis-standalone 0.0.1   Standalone Redis Master testing/...

Once you find the chart within a repository, you can deploy it on your cluster.
