To install Kubetail using helm , first add the Kubetail org’s chart repository, then install the “kubetail” chart:

helm repo add kubetail https://kubetail-org.github.io/helm-charts/
helm install kubetail kubetail/kubetail --namespace kubetail-system --create-namespace

Once it’s running you can access it using your usual access methods such as kubectl proxy or kubectl port-forward:

• kubectl proxy

  kubectl proxy

  Visit http://localhost:8001/api/v1/namespaces/kubetail-system/services/kubetail-server:7500/proxy/ 

• kubectl port-forward

  kubectl port-forward -n kubetail-system svc/kubetail-server 7500:7500

  Visit http://localhost:7500 

To make the Kubetail web dashboard easier to access you can also expose it using a service or an ingress. For more information on how to configure the helm chart see the chart’s values.yaml  file.
