We followed the quick start guide for the Rancher with kubernetes environment, and followed all the steps and exercises from this ebook.
Everything was Beautiful, with one exception: helm chart manager is not working.
We found this issue that had a lot of people talking about nginx configurations that apparently solved it, but it did not for us.
When we run helm like:
> helm install --name prom-release stable/prometheus
It returns:
Error: forwarding ports: error upgrading connection: error dialing backend: dial tcp 35.227.80.81:10250: getsockopt: connection timed out
We appreciate the help!

Using helm in the Rancher UI
Rancher provides shell access directly to a managed kubectl instance that can be used to manage Kubernetes clusters and applications. To start using this shell, navigate to Kubernetes -> CLI. This shell is automatically installed with a Helm client and commands for Helm can be used immediately.
