I have created a helm chart named "abc" with the command helm create abc Now when I install this chart, all the kuberenets resources created will have a name containing "abc".
Now I have to rename the chart "abc" to "xyz". If i use helm install --name xyz ./abc only the chart name is changed to xyz. The resources inside it remain with "abc".
I need to rename the entire chart (with its resources) to be renamed. Do I have any option for it?
You can access xyz with {{ .Release.Name }} and need to update the resource names with {{ .Release.Name }} so that the names are picked up dynamically every time:
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: {{ .Release.Name }}
labels:
app.kubernetes.io/name: {{ .Values.app.dbName }}
app.kubernetes.io/instance: {{ .Release.Name }}
spec:
replicas: 1
selector:
matchLabels:
app.kubernetes.io/name: {{ .Values.app.dbName }}
app.kubernetes.io/instance: {{ .Release.Name }}
template:

app.kubernetes.io/name: {{ .Values.app.dbName }}
app.kubernetes.io/instance: {{ .Release.Name }}

- image: mysql:5.6
name: "{{ .Release.Name }}-mysql" // or just {{ .Release.Name }}
