Installing applications using Helm charts
There are many Helm chart repositories, and it is way too much hassle to set them all up one by one.
Instead, we are going to use as our central Helm chart repository https://chartcenter.io, which has over 300 Helm repositories and can be our single source of truth to install all the charts from one location. It also has a nice UI where you can search for charts and get very informative details about them:

The preceding screenshot shows the ChartCenter UI.
It is also very easy to set ChartCenter as your central Helm repository, as follows:
$ helm repo add center https://repo.chartcenter.io
"center" has been added to your repositories
$ helm repo update
Hang tight while we grab the latest from your chart repositories...
...Successfully got an update from the "center" chart repository
Update Complete. Happy Helming!
The preceding commands added the center...
