Helm

Kore includes native Helm support, letting you inspect installed releases and chart repositories directly from the UI — no helm CLI required for read operations.

Note

Helm must be installed on your system (helm in $PATH) for Kore to show the Helm section. If Helm is not detected, the sidebar items link to an installation guide.

Helm Releases

The Releases page lists every Helm release installed in the cluster (across all namespaces).

Column	Description
Name	Release name
Namespace	Namespace the release is deployed into
Chart	Chart name and version
App Version	Upstream application version
Status	deployed, failed, pending-install, superseded
Revision	Current revision number
Updated	Timestamp of the last upgrade

Release actions

Right-click a release row to:

• View manifests — see the rendered Kubernetes YAML for all resources in the release
• View values — inspect the values.yaml used for this release
• Copy name — copy the release name

Helm Charts

The Charts page lists charts available in the locally configured Helm repositories.

Column	Description
Chart	Chart name
Repository	Source repository
Version	Latest chart version
App Version	Upstream application version
Description	Chart description

Adding repositories

Helm repository management is done via the helm CLI (helm repo add, helm repo update). Kore reflects the repositories already configured on your system — run helm repo update and re-open the Charts page to see the latest versions.

Checking Helm availability

Kore detects Helm at startup by running helm version. The detected version is shown in the Helm section header. If helm is not in $PATH, the Releases and Charts pages display a prompt with installation instructions.
