Conditions, Tags, and Global Values

Toggling subcharts and sharing globals across them.

Not Every Subchart Is Always Needed

Sometimes you want a bundled database off in production but on for local testing. Helm lets you toggle subcharts with conditions and tags.

The condition Field

In Chart.yaml a dependency's condition names a boolean value path. When that value is true the subchart installs; when false it is skipped.

- name: postgresql
  version: "15.5.0"
  repository: "@bitnami"
  condition: postgresql.enabled
