Packages

Helm packages provide a way to automatically install software across multiple clusters. Wayfinder administrators can use Helm packages to install software across both clusters and workspaces, while workspace administrators can use Helm packages to install software across clusters in their workspace.

For detailed information on how this works, see Package Installation.

View available Helm packages and releases

You can view packages available to a workspace, or to the admin workspace, in the UI or CLI. If you see available packages but no releases it means there are no clusters in the workspace that match the cluster label selectors in the Helm package. When there is both a package and a release, the package is installed automatically on the cluster(s) matching the label selectors. See Software delivery flow using packages for more information.

To view available packages and associated releases (UI):

• Workspace members

  In your workspace, navigate to Resources > Packages.

  The Packages page is displayed. You can click the Releases tab to see all releases of packages to your clusters.

• Wayfinder admins

  In Wayfinder settings, navigate to Cluster configuration > Packages.

To view available packages and associated releases (CLI):

1. Run the following CLI commands to view:

   • Helm packages

     wf get helm
wf get globalhelm for admin

   • Repository packages

     wf get repository
wf get globalrepository for admin

   • Release objects

     wf get helmrelease
wf get repositoryrelease

   For example:

   
   # View the helm packages
   $ wf get helm
   NAME                STATUS     AGE
   gke-certificates    Success    12d
   
   # View the release objects
   $ wf get helmrelease
   NAME                STATUS     AGE
   gke-certificates    Success    12d
