Using the helm install command

The following command format identifies how you can structure helm install commands for your deployment. The examples use the following flags:

--version specifies the Coverity version.
--repo is the Helm chart repository for Coverity cloud.
-n specifies the Coverity namespace.
-f specifies a .yaml file that overrides default chart values.

helm install ${chartName} \
    --version "${coverityVersion}"
    --repo ${repository-path} \
    -n "${NS}" \
    -f values.yaml \   **this used by default**
    -f "${overrideFile}.yaml"

In the command above, the values.yaml is used by default. Therefore the following command does the same installation.

helm install ${chartName} \
    --version "${coverityVersion}" \
    --repo ${repository-path} \
    -n "${NS}" \
    -f ${overrideFile}.yaml

Specifying a PostgreSQL secret

Optionally, if not provided in the values.yaml file, you can specify an existing Kubernetes PostgreSQL secret using the --set command in the helm install command. For example:

helm install ... \
--set postgres.existingSecret="my-postgres-secret"
