Helm Upgrade
helm upgrade
upgrade a release
Synopsis
This command upgrades a release to a new version of a chart.
The upgrade arguments must be a release and chart. The chart argument can be either: a chart reference('example/mariadb'), a path to a chart directory, a packaged chart, or a fully qualified URL. For chart references, the latest version will be specified unless the '--version' flag is set.
To override values in a chart, use either the '--values' flag and pass in a file or use the '--set' flag and pass configuration from the command line, to force string values, use '--set-string'. You can use '--set-file' to set individual values from a file when the value itself is too long for the command line or is dynamically generated. You can also use '--set-json' to set json values (scalars/objects/arrays) from the command line.
You can specify the '--values'/'-f' flag multiple times. The priority will be given to the last (right-most) file specified. For example, if both myvalues.yaml and override.yaml contained a key called 'Test', the value set in override.yaml would take precedence:
$ helm upgrade -f myvalues.yaml -f override.yaml redis ./redis
You can specify the '--set' flag multiple times. The priority will be given to the last (right-most) set specified. For example, if both 'bar' and 'newbar' values are set for a key called 'foo', the 'newbar' value would take precedence:
$ helm upgrade --set foo=bar --set foo=newbar redis ./redis
You can update the values for an existing release with this command as well via the '--reuse-values' flag. The 'RELEASE' and 'CHART' arguments should be set to the original parameters, and existing values will be merged with any values set via '--values'/'-f' or '--set' flags. Priority is given to new values.
$ helm upgrade --reuse-values --set foo=bar --set foo=newbar redis ./redis
helm upgrade [RELEASE] [CHART] [flags]
Options
--atomic if set, upgrade process rolls back changes made in case of failed upgrade. The --wait flag will be set automatically if --atomic is used
--ca-file string verify certificates of HTTPS-enabled servers using this CA bundle
--cert-file string identify HTTPS client using this SSL certificate file
--cleanup-on-fail allow deletion of new resources created in this upgrade when upgrade fails
--create-namespace if --install is set, create the release namespace if not present
--dependency-update update dependencies if they are missing before installing the chart
--description string add a custom description
--devel use development versions, too. Equivalent to version '>0.0.0-0'. If --version is set, this is ignored
--disable-openapi-validation if set, the upgrade process will not validate rendered templates against the Kubernetes OpenAPI Schema
--dry-run string[="client"] simulate an install. If --dry-run is set with no option being specified or as '--dry-run=client', it will not attempt cluster connections. Setting '--dry-run=server' allows attempting cluster connections.
--enable-dns enable DNS lookups when rendering templates
--force force resource updates through a replacement strategy
-h, --help help for upgrade
--history-max int limit the maximum number of revisions saved per release. Use 0 for no limit (default 10)
--insecure-skip-tls-verify skip tls certificate checks for the chart download
-i, --install if a release by this name doesn't already exist, run an install
--key-file string identify HTTPS client using this SSL key file
--keyring string location of public keys used for verification (default "~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg")
-l, --labels stringToString Labels that would be added to release metadata. Should be separated by comma. Original release labels will be merged with upgrade labels. You can unset label using null. (default [])

--pass-credentials pass credentials to all domains
--password string chart repository password where to locate the requested chart

--post-renderer postRendererString the path to an executable to be used for post rendering. If it exists in $PATH, the binary will be used, otherwise it will try to look for the executable at the given path
--post-renderer-args postRendererArgsSlice an argument to the post-renderer (can specify multiple) (default [])
--render-subchart-notes if set, render subchart notes along with the parent
--repo string chart repository url where to locate the requested chart
--reset-then-reuse-values when upgrading, reset the values to the ones built into the chart, apply the last release's values and merge in any overrides from the command line via --set and -f. If '--reset-values' or '--reuse-values' is specified, this is ignored
--reset-values when upgrading, reset the values to the ones built into the chart
--reuse-values when upgrading, reuse the last release's values and merge in any overrides from the command line via --set and -f. If '--reset-values' is specified, this is ignored
--set stringArray set values on the command line (can specify multiple or separate values with commas: key1=val1,key2=val2)
--set-file stringArray set values from respective files specified via the command line (can specify multiple or separate values with commas: key1=path1,key2=path2)
--set-json stringArray set JSON values on the command line (can specify multiple or separate values with commas: key1=jsonval1,key2=jsonval2)
--set-literal stringArray set a literal STRING value on the command line
--set-string stringArray set STRING values on the command line (can specify multiple or separate values with commas: key1=val1,key2=val2)
--skip-crds if set, no CRDs will be installed when an upgrade is performed with install flag enabled. By default, CRDs are installed if not already present, when an upgrade is performed with install flag enabled
--timeout duration time to wait for any individual Kubernetes operation (like Jobs for hooks) (default 5m0s)
--username string chart repository username where to locate the requested chart
-f, --values strings specify values in a YAML file or a URL (can specify multiple)
--verify verify the package before using it
--version string specify a version constraint for the chart version to use. This constraint can be a specific tag (e.g. 1.1.1) or it may reference a valid range (e.g. ^2.0.0). If this is not specified, the latest version is used
--wait if set, will wait until all Pods, PVCs, Services, and minimum number of Pods of a Deployment, StatefulSet, or ReplicaSet are in a ready state before marking the release as successful. It will wait for as long as --timeout
--wait-for-jobs if set and --wait enabled, will wait until all Jobs have been completed before marking the release as successful. It will wait for as long as --timeout
Options inherited from parent commands
--burst-limit int client-side default throttling limit (default 100)
--debug enable verbose output
--kube-apiserver string the address and the port for the Kubernetes API server
--kube-as-group stringArray group to impersonate for the operation, this flag can be repeated to specify multiple groups.
