## Local Testing
## What it Does?
Prerequisites: `helm` and `kubectl` binaries installed and operational.
The _Helm Dashboard_ plugin offers a UI-driven way to view the installed Helm charts, see their revision history and corresponding k8s resources. Also, you can perform simple actions like roll back to a revision or upgrade to newer version.
Until we make our repo public, we have to use a custom way to install the plugin.
This project is part of [Komodor's](https://komodor.io) vision of helping Kubernetes users to navigate and troubleshoot their clusters.
There is a need to build binary for plugin to function, run:
## Installing
To install it, simply run Helm command:
```shell
go build -o bin/dashboard .
helm plugin install https://github.com/komodorio/helm-dashboard.git
```
To install, checkout the source code and run from source dir:
```shell
helm plugin install .
```
Local install of plugin just creates a symlink, so making the changes and rebuilding the binary would not require to
reinstall a plugin.
To use the plugin, run in your terminal:
```shell
helm dashboard
```
Then, use the web UI.
## Uninstalling
To uninstall, run:
```shell
helm plugin uninstall dashboard
```
## Running
To use the plugin, your machine needs to have working `helm` and also `kubectl` commands.
After installing, start the UI by running:
```shell
helm dashboard
```
The command above will launch the local Web server and will open the UI in new browser tab. The command will hang waiting for you to terminate it in command-line or web UI.
By default, the web server is only available locally. You can change that by specifying `HD_BIND` environment variable to the desired value. For example, `0.0.0.0` would bind to all IPv4 addresses or `[::0]` would be all IPv6 addresses.
If your port 8080 is busy, you can specify a different port to use via `HD_PORT` environment variable.
If you don't want browser tab to automatically open, set `HD_NOBROWSER=1` in your environment variables.
If you want to increase the logging verbosity and see all the debug info, set `DEBUG=1` environment variable.
## Support Channels
We have two main channels for supporting the Helm Dashboard users: [Slack community](https://komodorkommunity.slack.com/x-p3820586794880-3937175868755-4092688791734/archives/C042U85BD45/p1663573506220839) for general conversations
and [GitHub issues](https://github.com/komodorio/helm-dashboard/issues) for real bugs.
