Chart Repositories and Hub

Repositories are currently simple HTTP servers that contain an index file and a tarball of all the Charts present. Prior to adding a repository, you can only search the Artifact Hub using helm search hub.

$ helm search hub redis

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

$ helm repo add bitnami https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami

$ helm repo list

NAME      URL
bitnami   https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami

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

$ helm search repo bitnami

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