airbyte on premisse. Where I save the values.yaml we don't have that on our airbyte 2.0 version
k
For an on-premises Airbyte 2.0 deployment on Kubernetes using Helm, the
values.yaml
file is something you create yourself — it doesn't come pre-existing in your cluster. Here's how it works: Creating your values.yaml You create a new
values.yaml
file locally on the machine where you run Helm commands (e.g., your workstation or a bastion host). You only need to include the specific overrides for your configuration — you don't need to copy the entire chart's default values. [Installation Guide] A minimal example for Airbyte 2.0 (Community edition):
Copy code
global:
  edition: community
  airbyteUrl: "" # The URL where Airbyte will be reached; This should match your Ingress host
Or for Enterprise:
Copy code
global:
  edition: enterprise

  enterprise:
    secretName: "" # Secret name where an Airbyte license key is stored
    licenseKeySecretKey: "" # The key within `licenseKeySecretName` where the Airbyte license key is stored

  airbyteUrl: "" # The URL where Airbyte will be reached
[Upgrade to Helm chart V2 (Core); Enterprise Setup] Using it during installation Once you have your
values.yaml
file, you pass it to the Helm install command:
Copy code
helm install airbyte airbyte-v2/airbyte \
  --namespace airbyte-v2 \
  --values ./values.yaml \
  --version 2.0.18
[Installation Guide] Key point The
values.yaml
is not stored inside Airbyte itself — it's a local configuration file you maintain and use when running Helm commands to install or upgrade your deployment. You can store it anywhere accessible from your Helm client (e.g., a Git repository, a local directory, etc.). For a full reference of all available configuration options, see the Values.yaml reference. 👍 0 button 👎 0 button â„šī¸ Tip: Mention @kapa.ai in the thread for follow-ups or DM the app for 1-to-1 help.

@kapa.ai where usually is the "*locally on the machine where you run Helm commands* (e.g., your workstation or a bastion host)" ?
k
The knowledge sources do not explicitly specify a recommended physical location or path for storing the
values.yaml
file on your local machine or bastion host. The documentation only states that it should be somewhere accessible during the installation process when running Helm commands. [Installation Guide] For example, the Helm install command references it as
./values.yaml
, implying it's in the current working directory from which you run the command:
Copy code
helm install airbyte airbyte-v2/airbyte \
  --namespace airbyte-v2 \
  --values ./values.yaml \
  --version 2.0.18
[Installation Guide] The Enterprise documentation also mentions creating it inside an
airbyte
directory: > "you need to create an additional
values.yaml
file in your
airbyte
directory" [Enterprise Setup] Beyond that, the specific location is up to you — common practices (not stated in the docs) would be a Git repository or a dedicated config directory, but the docs don't prescribe a specific path. 👍 0 button 👎 0 button â„šī¸ Tip: Mention @kapa.ai in the thread for follow-ups or DM the app for 1-to-1 help.

@kapa.ai we are on linux
k
The knowledge sources do not contain specific information about Linux file system paths or conventions for storing the
values.yaml
file. The documentation only states it should be accessible when running Helm commands, and references it as
./values.yaml
(the current working directory). [Installation Guide] For anything beyond that — such as recommended Linux directory conventions — I'm not able to provide guidance based on the Airbyte documentation alone. A common general practice would be to keep it in a dedicated directory like
~/airbyte/values.yaml
, which aligns with the docs mentioning an
airbyte
directory [Enterprise Setup], but the docs don't prescribe a specific Linux path. 👍 0 button 👎 0 button â„šī¸ Tip: Mention @kapa.ai in the thread for follow-ups or DM the app for 1-to-1 help.
