Helm in Practice

Dry Run Template Rendering

Another test we can perform is rendering the templates locally before packaging them and pushing them to a registry. This can be done using the helm template command:

helm template [RELEASE_NAME] [CHART_PATH] [FLAGS]

To apply it to our todo-chart chart, we can run the following command:

helm template todo-chart $HOME/todo-chart

We can add the --debug flag to get more information about the rendering process:

helm template todo-chart $HOME/todo-chart --debug
