helm list

list releases

Synopsis

This command lists all of the releases for a specified namespace (uses current namespace context if namespace not specified).

By default, it lists all releases in any status. Individual status filters like ‘—deployed’, ‘—failed’, ‘—pending’, ‘—uninstalled’, ‘—superseded’, and ‘—uninstalling’ can be used to show only releases in specific states. Such flags can be combined: ‘—deployed —failed’.

By default, items are sorted alphabetically. Use the ‘-d’ flag to sort by release date.

If the —filter flag is provided, it will be treated as a filter. Filters are regular expressions (Perl compatible) that are applied to the list of releases. Only items that match the filter will be returned.

$ helm list --filter 'ara[a-z]+'
NAME                UPDATED                                  CHART
maudlin-arachnid    2020-06-18 14:17:46.125134977 +0000 UTC  alpine-0.1.0

If no results are found, ‘helm list’ will exit 0, but with no output (or in the case of no ‘-q’ flag, only headers).

By default, up to 256 items may be returned. To limit this, use the ‘—max’ flag. Setting ‘—max’ to 0 will not return all results. Rather, it will return the server’s default, which may be much higher than 256. Pairing the ‘—max’ flag with the ‘—offset’ flag allows you to page through results.
