Finding a chart on Artifact Hub to install.

1

Name the release

Type a Release name, and the Namespace to install it in. The namespace starts as the one you picked in the namespace menu, or default.Tick Create the namespace if it doesn’t exist for a new one (--create-namespace).
2

Find the chart

Type what you’re looking for in Search Artifact Hub and press ↵. Up to 20 matches show, with their repository, latest version, app version and description. Pick one, and its name, repository and version fill in.

Set values

The editor starts empty: the chart’s defaults apply as they are. Add only what you want to change.Start from the chart’s defaults fills the editor with the chart’s own values.yaml, so you can see everything it lets you set, and edit from there.

Review, then install

Artifact Hub

KubeStacks talks to Artifact Hub only when you search it. To search another instance, set KUBESTACKS_ARTIFACT_HUB_URL (the chart’s helm.artifactHubUrl when it runs in your cluster).

Where charts may come from

In your cluster: charts come from repositories, registries or URLs, never from files on the server. KubeStacks fetches them only from public addresses, so that anyone signed in can’t make it reach services inside the cluster’s network. To install from a ChartMuseum or Harbor on your network, the administrator sets helm.allowPrivateCharts: true. See Helm values.
The desktop app installs from anywhere your computer can reach, your own network included. On a read-only cluster, KubeStacks refuses to install anything.

Charts on your computer

Install the chart you’re working on, checked with helm lint.
