I can specify a specific version of a chart by doing: helm install —version stable/

But, how do I know which versions are available?

Short Answer

You can list all available versions of a chart using the search repo functionality together with the —versions flag:

helm search repo / —versions

This requires that the repo was added previously and is up to date. If your repo was added some time ago, please make sure to keep the local cache updated using helm repo update to also see recently released versions.

The behaviour of managing charts in a repository changed slightly between Helm v2 and Helm v3. So please refer to the corresponding section for details.

Helm v3

Helm v3 changed to a more decentralized management of charts, so you might have added a certain repository upfront compared to obtaining many of them directly from the preconfigured stable repository. Listing the versions of a certain chart can be accomplished running the command helm search repo and specifying the full path of the chart (specifying repo and chart name) in combination with the —versions flag (or shorthand -l ) like so:

helm search repo / —versions

If you are interested in pre-release builds like 1.1.0-rc.1 or 3.0.0-alpha.2 , you have to add the —devel flag to also include those.

helm search repo / —versions —devel

You can limit the amount of results by specifying a version constraint using SEMVER notation with the —version flag in addition to —versions . This allows for example limiting the results to e.g. only v1 charts:

helm search repo / —versions —version ^v1.0

Depending on your shell, it can be required to put the version string in single quotes ( ‘ ) due to special characters like ^ .

Example

One concrete example using jetstack’s charts for cert-manager:

Regular search for results that contain jetstack

Regular search for a specific chart

Listing all the versions for one specific chart

Listing unstable/pre-release builds will also include the alpha versions.

As listing the versions is integrated into the search, using —versions is not limited to a single chart. Specifying this flag will list all available versions for all charts that match the query string.

For additional information, please check the helm docs at https://helm.sh/docs/helm/helm_search_repo/

Helm v2

For Helm v2, many artifacts were accessible through the stable repo which came preconfigured with the Helm CLI. Listing all versions was done in a similar way but with a different command. To list the available versions of the chart with Helm v2 use the following command:

helm search -l stable/

The -l or —versions flag is used to display all and not only the latest version per chart.

With Helm v2 you were able to keep your repos updated using the helm update command.

Get character map to show all characters

Is there a way to get character map to simply show a list of all the characters in a font and the appropriate alt code to access them, including the ones below 33 such as the musical notes (♪♫), or is there a small offline program I can download to use as an alternative?

Alternately, The pre-Unicode Windows 9x versions of this program did what I want, if I were to extract them from my Windows 98SE computer (I can’t recall if that had the Unicode version or not) or see if I can get an old Windows 95 machine up and running, could I expect to be able to run the program under Windows 7 64-bit Professional (setting it to Windows 9x compatibility mode count)?

Have a variant of an old-fashioned ASCII chart that shows all the characters in a font, with a pop-up menu to swap fonts, and easily shows what keystrokes are needed to create the special characters when typing in Word 2003/2007, Firefox, Thunderbird, Notepad, or Notepad++ (probably should add PowerPoint and Excel as well, but I haven’t used PowerPoint in 3 years and can’t recall the last time I needed special characters in Excel except possibly © or ®, though I could have used Pi on occasion, the only way I knew how to make it was to use the «Symbol» font and type p).

Character map comes close save for skipping a bunch of things I know are there such as ☺☻♥♦♣♠•◘○◙♂♀♪♫☼►◄↕‼¶§▬↨↑↓→•∟↔.

I don’t care what this U-263A is, all I care about is what keystroke do I need to type to make the character .

Again, I don’t care about a method that requires a registry edit, when there was one instance when I wanted the musical note on a computer not my own that I did not have admin access to and the chance of getting the registry edit done through the bureaucracy it were between -∞ and 0.

That is what I’m looking for. Something that uses the built-in alt codes.

Are you being deliberately dense? It would probably take less time to dig up my old copy of Visual Studio 6 (or find my legit product key which is probably written down in a text file on my old Win98 or Win95 system like I used to do for convenient re-installing and download a new copy from a pirate site since I haven’t seen the CD in years) and re-learn enough Visual BASIC to write the damn thing than to get an answer of where to obtain something simple.

I know writing a GW-BASIC (BASICA) or QBASIC program to display such a chart on the text screen would take me all of five minutes, but I don’t know or don’t remember how to make a control to make a list of all available fonts and let the user choose which font.

But alas, I switched from a programming degree to a tech support one because I had no talent for GUIs, only ANSI C, or older flavors of text-based BASIC such as AppleSoft, GW-BASIC (BASICA), QBASIC, or TI-BASIC on my TI-82 calculator (TI-83 came out the year after I got the TI-82).

We understand that you wanted the same Character Map which you have used in Windows 95 and 98.

Below is our recommendations to get this resolved.

To open the Character Map utility:

1. Click on the Start then select All Programs.
2. Choose Programs > Accessories > System Tools followed by Character Map.

Note: If you use the Character Map quite often, you can create a Shortcut on your Desktop or to your Start menu.

3. A window will displays a series of characters in a grid.

In the Character Map

1. Make sure that the Font from the drop-down list matches the document you are creating. If you doing some other

function, select Times New Roman as the Font.

2. Locate the symbol you want in the Grid. You can use the scroll bars on the right to view more characters.

NOTE: Other Windows fonts includes Cyrillic and Greek letters by default. For other scripts, use Arial Unicode or similar and applicable fonts.

3. If the character you prefer is not included in the grid, change the font to Arial Unicode MS, Tahoma, Times New Roman, or other appropriate font.

4. Narrow your selection by Unicode block, select the Advanced View at the bottom to show additional menus. In the Group By menu, Choose a Unicode Subrange to open a pop-up. Click the block to see available characters in that font.

5. Double-click on any character you have selected to insert then click the Select button to make it appear in the

Characters to Copy field. You can Select more than one character.

6. Highlight one or more of the characters in the Characters to Copy field you like to insert then click the Copy button.

Pasting Symbol in Document

1. Minimize the Character Map window and open or switch to the application window where you want to insert the

character.
2. Point your cursor in the location you wish to insert the character.
3. Under the Edit Menu, select Paste (or use the keyboard shortcut Control+V). The character should appear.
4. If you prefer you can change the font of the inserted character to the one selected in the Character Map. ). The
