Supplying a Custom values File with -f

Versioning your configuration in your own YAML.

Config as a File

When overrides pile up, put them in your own YAML file. The -f flag hands that file to Helm at install time. 📄

helm install web bitnami/nginx -f my-values.yaml

The Long Form

The flag -f is short for --values. Both do the same thing, so use whichever reads more clearly to you.

helm install web bitnami/nginx --values my-values.yaml
