+# Kubernetes
+
+ You can find instructions to deploy Verdaccio on a Kubernetes cluster on the
+[verdaccio/docker-example](https://github.com/verdaccio/docker-examples/tree/master/kubernetes-example)
+repository. However, the recommended method to install Verdaccio on a Kubernetes
+cluster is to use [Helm](https://helm.sh). Helm is a
+[Kubernetes](https://kubernetes.io) package manager which bring multiple
+advantages.
+
+## Helm
+
+### Setup Helm
+
+If you haven't used Helm before, you need to setup the Helm controller called
+Tiller:
+
+```bash
+helm init
+```
+
+### Install
+
+Deploy the Helm [stable/verdaccio](https://github.com/kubernetes/charts/tree/master/stable/verdaccio)
+chart. In this example we use `npm` as release name:
+
+```bash
+helm install --name npm stable/verdaccio
+```
+
+### Deploy a specific version
+
+```bash
+helm install --name npm --set image.tag=2.6.5 stable/verdaccio
+```
+
+### Upgrading Verdaccio
+
+```bash
+helm upgrade npm stable/verdaccio
+```
+
+### Uninstalling
+
+```bash
+helm del --purge npm
+```
+
+**Note:** this command delete all the resources, including packages that you may
+have previously published to the registry.
+
+
+### Custom Verdaccio configuration
+
+You can customize the Verdaccio configuration using a Kubernetes *configMap*.
+
+#### Prepare
+
+Copy the [existing configuration](https://github.com/verdaccio/verdaccio/blob/master/conf/full.yaml)
+and adapt it for your use case:
+
+```bash
+wget https://github.com/verdaccio/verdaccio/blob/master/conf/full.yaml -O config.yaml
+```
+
+**Note:** Make sure you are using the right path for the storage that is used for
+persistency:
+
+```yaml
+storage: /verdaccio/storage/data
+auth:
+  htpasswd:
+    file: /verdaccio/storage/htpasswd
+```
+
+#### Deploy the configMap
+
+Deploy the `configMap` to the cluster
+
+```bash
+kubectl create configmap verdaccio-config --from-file ./config.yaml
+```
+
+#### Deploy Verdaccio
+
+Now you can deploy the Verdaccio Helm chart and specify which configuration to
+use:
+
+```bash
+helm install --name npm --set customConfigMap=verdaccio-config stable/verdaccio
+```
