Helm: Get values for an installed application

helm get values

2 min read | by Jordi Prats

When we already have some applicacions installed using helm we might need to retrieve the values we used to install the same application somewhere else. To do so we can use helm get values

We just need to specify the applicacion and it's namespace to retrieve the values we used to install it:

$ helm get values longhorn -n longhorn-system
USER-SUPPLIED VALUES:
ingress:
  enabled: true
  host: longhorn.local

If we did not specify any values at all, it's value is going to be null:

$ helm get values longhorn -n longhorn-system
USER-SUPPLIED VALUES:
null

If we are not sure which name we choose for the application, we can use helm list to get a list:

$ helm list -A
