Tutorial: Run WordPress with Helm on Kubernetes

3. Install WordPress

Create a new Kubernetes Namespace with:

kubectl create namespace varmywordpress
namespace "varmywordpress" created

This sets up a new namespace in your Kubernetes cluster to contain all the objects for the WordPress site.

Use Helm to install WordPress into your new namespace. This configures everything WordPress needs to run, including:

helm install --namespace varmywordpress --name wordpress stable/wordpress

You will see a large amount of output, starting with:

NAME:   wordpress
LAST DEPLOYED: Mon Feb 27 17:45:42 2017
NAMESPACE: varmywordpress
STATUS: DEPLOYED
