03/26/2026, 4:34 PMvalues.yaml file is something you create yourself â 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 â you don't need to copy the entire chart's default values. [Installation Guide]
A minimal example for Airbyte 2.0 (Community edition):
global:
edition: community
airbyteUrl: "" # The URL where Airbyte will be reached; This should match your Ingress host
Or for Enterprise:
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:
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 â 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. đ 0 button đ 0 button âšī¸ Tip: Mention @kapa.ai in the thread for follow-ups or DM the app for 1-to-1 help.Rafael Felipe

03/26/2026, 4:48 PMvalues.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:
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 â 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. đ 0 button đ 0 button âšī¸ Tip: Mention @kapa.ai in the thread for follow-ups or DM the app for 1-to-1 help.Rafael Felipe

For anything beyond that â such as recommended Linux directory conventions â 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. đ 0 button đ 0 button âšī¸ Tip: Mention @kapa.ai in the thread for follow-ups or DM the app for 1-to-1 help.
