helm not working on rancher with kubernetes

1/23/2018

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.
