Helm简介、安装、配置、使用！

一、简介

Helm 是 Kubernetes 的包管理器。包管理器类似于我们在 Ubuntu 中使用的apt、Centos中使用的yum 或者Python中的 pip 一样，能快速查找、下载和安装软件包。Helm 由客户端组件 helm 和服务端组件 Tiller 组成, 能够将一组K8S资源打包统一管理, 是查找、共享和使用为Kubernetes构建的软件的最佳方式。

Helm3之前是C/S架构的。主要分为客户端 helm 和服务端 Tiller。Tiller负责对charts的解析生成k8s资源声明文件，然后调用k8s api进行部署。同时还保存chart部署的版本信息。

Helm3移除了 Tiller，直接在客户端就对charts进行解析，调用k8s api部署资源声明文件。同时将charts release的版本信息保存至对应k8s应用部署所在命名空间下的secret中。(例如：名为sh.helm.release.v1.sentry-kubernetes-events.v1 helm.sh/release.v1类型的secret)

全面拥抱Helm3

二、安装

Github下载地址：Releases · helm/helm · GitHub

1、二进制包安装

下载二进制文件解压至系统环境路径下即可。

命令脚本

curl -fsSL -o get_helm.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/helm/helm/master/scripts/get-helm-3
chmod 700 get_helm.sh
./get_helm.sh

# 或者
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/helm/helm/master/scripts/get-helm-3 | bash

2、包管理器安装

Brew
```
brew install helm
```

3、源码编译安装

$ cd $GOPATH
$ mkdir -p src/helm.sh
$ cd src/helm.sh
$ git clone https://github.com/helm/helm.git
$ cd helm
$ make

三、配置

helm3默认读取当前用户目录下～/.kube/config文件中的当前k8s环境上下文来配置部署charts到哪个k8s集群。相关权限跟随着kuectl配置的用户权限。（开箱即用的感觉）

1、配置helm的环境变量

Name	Description
`$XDG_CACHE_HOME`	set an alternative location for storing cached files.
`$XDG_CONFIG_HOME`	set an alternative location for storing Helm configuration.
`$XDG_DATA_HOME`	set an alternative location for storing Helm data.
`$HELM_DRIVER`	set the backend storage driver. Values are: configmap, secret, memory
`$HELM_NO_PLUGINS`	disable plugins. Set HELM_NO_PLUGINS=1 to disable plugins.
`$KUBECONFIG`	set an alternative Kubernetes configuration file (default "~/.kube/config")

2、Helm相关文件存储的默认路径

cached文件都存在$XDG_CACHE_HOME/helm
配置文件存在 $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/helm
数据文件存在$XDG_DATA_HOME/helm

3、各个操作操作系统的默认配置

操作系统	Cache文件路径	配置文件路径	数据文件路径
Linux	$HOME/.cache/helm	$HOME/.config/helm	$HOME/.local/share/helm
macOS	$HOME/Library/Caches/helm	$HOME/Library/Preferences/helm	$HOME/Library/helm
Windows	%TEMP%\helm	%APPDATA%\helm	%APPDATA%\helm

4、命令行的命令补全

helm completion zsh
source <(helm completion zsh)
