If the error occurs while adding a repository, you can provide the CA certificate directly to the Helm command:

Use a browser like Chrome to visit the repository URL (e.g., https://get.helm.sh ), click the padlock, view the certificate, and export the "Root" or "Intermediate" certificate as a Base64 PEM file. If the error occurs while adding a repository,

helm repo add --ca-file /path/to/your/ca-bundle.crt [REPO_NAME] [REPO_URL] ``` #### 4. Temporary Workaround: Bypass Verification (Not Recommended for Production) If you are in a secure environment and need to proceed immediately, you can bypass SSL verification. **Warning:** This exposes you to man-in-the-middle attacks. * **For Helm Commands:** ```bash helm install [RELEASE] [CHART] --insecure-skip-tls-verify ``` * **For Helm Plugins:** ```bash helm plugin install [URL] --insecure-skip-tls-verify ``` ### Quick Checklist for Troubleshooting | Action | Purpose | | :--- | :--- | | **Check `get.helm.sh`** | Visit the site in a browser to see if it’s blocked by a corporate firewall. | | **Check System Time** | Inaccurate system clocks can cause SSL certificates to appear expired. | | **Verify Repository URL** | Ensure you aren't using deprecated Google Storage URLs (e.g., `kubernetes-charts.storage.googleapis.com`). | Are you seeing this error while **installing the Helm binary** via a script or while **running a Helm command** like `helm repo add`? Use code with caution. **Warning:** This exposes you to man-in-the-middle attacks
