CoreWeave Charts is a CoreWeave-hosted collection of Helm charts that we’ve tested and validated for use within CKS. This collection primarily contains two types of Helm charts: those that CoreWeave has developed, and some third-party charts for third-party applications. This page is for CKS users who want to discover, inspect, and install Helm charts from the CoreWeave repository. It covers how to add the repository to Helm, search for charts, view chart details, and install applications. With these steps, you can deploy vetted workloads to your cluster.
While all examples here use coreweave as the local repository name, you can substitute any pertinent name.

​
Do not install the NVIDIA GPU Operator on CKS clusters

CoreWeave manages the NVIDIA GPU Operator on your behalf. Do not install the NVIDIA GPU Operator on CKS clusters. Doing so conflicts with the platform-managed deployment and is not supported.

​
Add and search the repository

To add the CoreWeave Charts repository to Helm, add https://charts.core-services.ingress.coreweave.com with helm repo add:
Refresh the local repository indexes before searching:
To see all available charts within the repository, use helm search repo. To list the entire contents of the CoreWeave repository, run helm search repo coreweave:
To list all available stable versions of a specific chart, add the --versions (-l) flag. For example, to list the versions of cert-manager:
Add --devel to include prerelease versions.

​
View charts

To view information about a given chart, use helm show chart:
The output includes the chart’s version, dependencies, keywords, and maintainers. Check for deprecated: true before choosing a chart for a new deployment. To inspect the chart’s default configuration, use helm show values:

​
Keywords

Chart keywords describe a chart’s origin and the applications it deploys:
  • coreweave - identifies CoreWeave-developed charts or applications.
  • vendored - identifies charts that deploy upstream third-party applications.
A chart can contain both keywords, as coreweave/cert-manager does. Check the maintainers fields of the chart and its dependencies to identify who maintains each component.

​
Chart support

If you’re experiencing issues with a specific chart, see the keywords and maintainers sections of the application’s Chart.yaml file, or its dependency charts. If you need further assistance, create a ticket with support.
CoreWeave can’t provide support for third-party applications. Our support team handles queries on the infrastructure on which your applications run, not the apps themselves.

​
Install applications with CoreWeave Charts

After you’ve identified the chart you want, review its configuration and confirm that you have access to the target CKS cluster. Use helm install to deploy it. The following example installs cert-manager with the bundled cert-issuers subchart disabled. The subchart must remain disabled until cert-manager and its Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) are running. Run either of the following installation commands. They install the same release with equivalent configuration. To set the value on the command line:
Alternatively, save the same configuration in values.yaml:
values.yaml
Then install the chart using the values file:
The cert-issuers.enabled value defaults to false. These examples set it explicitly to demonstrate command-line and file-based configuration. See cert-manager for issuer configuration. To deploy a container registry, follow Deploy a container registry on CKS. See Using Helm: Customizing the Chart Before Installing for more examples of customizing a chart during installation.
