Configure Helm with Nexus

Configure your Helm client to connect to and authenticate to a Nexus Helm repository. Note that configuring Helm with Nexus requires creating a Helm repository in Nexus first.

Run the following command to add a Nexus Helm repository to your local Helm client configuration.

helm repo add <helm_repository_name> http://<host>:<port>/repository/<nexus_repository_name>/ --username <username> --password <password>

Where,

• <helm_repository_name>: Your local alias used by the Helm client

• <host>: Your Nexus instance, for example example.nexus.com

• <port>: Your Nexus port, for example 8081

• <nexus_repository_name>: Your Helm Nexus repository, for example helm-proxy

• <username>: Username to authenticate to Nexus

• <password>: Password to authenticate to Nexus

Example:

helm repo add nexusrepo http://localhost:8081/repository/helm-proxy/ --username admin --password admin123
