Helm installation reference

You can customize the following resources and settings during Calico Helm-based installation using the file, values.yaml.

note

If you customize Felix configuration when you install Calico, the crd.projectcalico.org/v1 API group is used. However, when you apply Felix configuration customization after installation (when the tigera-apiserver is running), use the projectcalico.org/v3 API group. When using native v3 CRDs, only the projectcalico.org/v3 API group is installed and should always be used.

Sample values.yaml​

Here is a sample values.yaml file with settings for custom resources. You must enable the custom resource using enabled: true to provide custom configurations; custom resources set to false are ignored.

installation:
  enabled: true
  <installation resource spec fields to configure>

defaultFelixConfiguration:
  enabled: false
  <if enabled is true: felixConfiguration resource spec fields to configure>

Common customizations​

Example of common customizations that you might want to configure in you values.yaml for your Helm-based installation:

WireGuard encryption is configured in the FelixConfiguration. To set encryption for your cluster, update the values.yaml file.

  wireguardEnabledV6: true
