Updating Helm values

Updating Helm values

When changing FOSSA's Helm values, you'll sometimes want to change the Helm values that FOSSA is using. This is a pretty simple process:

  1. Ensure that helm is set up correctly. For instructions, see Setting up Helm.
  2. Prepare your new Helm values.
  3. Find the Helm release name of the FOSSA instance that you want to upgrade. This should be the release name you specified in Installing and verifying FOSSA. If you don't remember your release name, you can run helm list to find a list of all Helm releases in your cluster.
  4. Run helm upgrade --namespace NAMESPACE RELEASE_NAME fossa/fossa-core --values YOUR_VALUES_FILE.yaml --timeout 60m. This will create a new version of your release that is using the new values.

It may take some time for the Helm release to finish upgrading. Some upgrades may also cause FOSSA to become briefly unavailable as services restart.
