Helmfile is a tool for managing multiple Kubernetes Helm packages. Questions should focus on creating and templating the Helmfile YAML files. Only use this tag for the Helmfile tool, not general Helm questions.
Helmfile is a tool for managing multiple kubernetes-helm packages, to be installed together in the same kubernetes cluster. It allows declaring multiple Helm releases (chart installations) in a single YAML file. It also supports multiple deployment environments, and uses the same templating language as Helm to supply Helm values and other configuration.
Since Helmfile uses the go-templates system, it is possible to write conditional logic within a Helmfile. Helmfile also has multiple layers of templating, multiple ways to supply values to charts, and allows modifying chart content in various ways. Questions should focus on the helm file.yaml
and *.yaml.gotmpl
files specific to Helmfile.
Do not use this tag for general questions about Helm charts. Questions that deal only with a Helm Chart.yaml
file or the Helm templates/*.yaml
files should be tagged with kubernetes-helm but not helmfile, unless there is something specific to their interaction with the separate Helmfile tool.
