Installing a Helm Chart from Registry

When you create a repository, it will be private by default. Before you install a chart from a private repository, you first need to authenticate. If your repository is public, you can skip the authentication steps, but you must still add or reference the repository.

Repsy supports two protocols for installing charts. Choose the one that matches how you published your chart.

Classic Protocol

Add the repository

helm repo add <repo-name> https://repo.repsy.io/helm/<username>/<repo-name> \
  --username <username> \
  --password <password-or-token>
helm repo update

Authentication is only required for private repositories. Omit --username and --password if your repository is public.

Search available charts

List all charts available in your repository:

helm search repo <repo-name>

Install the chart

Install a specific chart version into your cluster:

helm install <release-name> <repo-name>/<chart-name> --version <version>

That is all! If you have completed all required steps as described, Helm will download and install your chart from your Repsy registry successfully.

OCI Protocol

Log in to the Repsy OCI registry

Authenticate with the Repsy container registry endpoint:

helm registry login repo.repsy.io \
  --username <username> \
  --password <password-or-token>

Authentication is only required for private repositories. Omit the credentials flags if your repository is public.

Pull the chart

Download a specific chart version from your OCI repository:

helm pull oci://repo.repsy.io/helm/<username>/<repo-name>/<chart-name> \
  --version <version>

Install the chart

Install directly from the OCI reference without pulling first:

helm install <release-name> \
  oci://repo.repsy.io/helm/<username>/<repo-name>/<chart-name> \
  --version <version>

That is all! If you have completed all required steps as described, Helm will download and install your chart from your Repsy registry successfully.
