Helm releases lists every release in the cluster, or in the namespace you picked. Open it from the sidebar, or press G then H. KubeStacks reads releases from where Helm itself keeps them, so looking needs no helm on your computer and no access beyond reading Secrets. Changing a release goes through your own helm: see Upgrade and roll back.

Every release, its chart, version and status.

The list

Each release shows its Status, Chart and version, App version, Revision and when it was Updated. Sort by any column; sorting by Status puts failed releases first. Press / to filter by name, namespace, chart or app version, or narrow the list by status with the chips: The list refreshes every 15 seconds. Install chart at the top installs a new one: see Install a chart.

A release

Click a release to open it next to the list. Its actions (Upgrade…, Roll back… and Uninstall…) are at the top.
A Helm release's history, ready to roll back.A Helm release's history, ready to roll back.

A release's history, with a diff between any two revisions.

The facts: Chart and its version, App version, Revision, Last change (Helm’s description of it, like “Upgrade complete”), when it was Installed and Updated, what the chart says it is, and its Subcharts. Below them are the release’s Notes, as helm install printed them.

Releases Flux manages

If a release is managed by Flux’s helm-controller, KubeStacks says so at the top of the release: Flux puts back changes made to it any other way. Open its HelmRelease takes you to the HelmRelease object, where you can reconcile, suspend or resume it with KubeStacks’ view for Flux. The upgrade, rollback and uninstall dialogs warn you too.

What it needs

Helm 3 and 4 keep each revision of a release in a Secret labeled owner=helm (or a ConfigMap, with Helm’s configmap storage driver). KubeStacks reads both. If your account can’t list Secrets, the page says so instead of showing an empty list.

Upgrade and roll back

New values or a new chart, reviewed as a dry run first.
