Introduction

A Prometheus exporter for Proxmox Virtual Environment metrics.

This chart bootstraps a PVE Exporter deployment on a Kubernetes cluster using the Helm package manager.

Prerequisites

• Kubernetes 1.19+

Installing the Chart

To install the chart with the release name my-release:

helm repo add christianhuth https://charts.christianhuth.de
helm repo update
helm install my-release christianhuth/prometheus-pve-exporter

These commands deploy prometheus-pve-exporter on the Kubernetes cluster in the default configuration. The Values section lists the values that can be configured during installation.

Tip: List all releases using helm list

Uninstalling the Chart

To uninstall the my-release deployment:

helm uninstall my-release

The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.
