Superset Helm Chart#
The Apache Superset Helm chart (helm/superset/) is officially deprecated and largely unmaintained. The sole officially-supported method for deploying Superset on Kubernetes is now the Superset Kubernetes Operator.
Status: Deprecated#
The chart has been deprecated because no Superset committer or PMC member has actively maintained it in sync with releases . This led to visible gaps in availability:
- Chart versions 0.15.3 and 0.15.4 went missing from ArtifactHub .
- No chart was published for Superset 6.0.0, which shipped in late 2025 .
- The published Helm repo (
https://apache.github.io/superset/index.yaml) stalled at version 0.17.2, even though later tags (0.18.x, 0.19.x) appear in GitHub releases .
The Chart.yaml in the repository currently reflects chart version 0.14.2 targeting appVersion 4.1.2 — significantly behind the main application releases.
Maintainer @rusackas officially confirmed the deprecation :
"the helm charts are still being touched up somewhat, but are officially being deprecated."
The issue tracking the 6.0.0 chart was closed as "not-planned / overtaken by current events" .
Replacement: Superset Kubernetes Operator#
The Superset Kubernetes Operator was authored by Ville Brofeldt (a Superset PMC member) and became live in mid-2026 . It was proposed in apache/superset#31408 and went through a formal Apache voting process before release.

Chart Source Files#
For reference (historical/troubleshooting), the chart remains in the repository under helm/superset/:
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
helm/superset/Chart.yaml | Chart metadata, version, and Bitnami sub-chart dependencies (PostgreSQL 13.4.4, Redis 17.9.4) |
helm/superset/README.md | Auto-generated docs via helm-docs |
helm/superset/values.yaml | Default configuration values |
⚠️ Do not use the Helm chart for new deployments. Use the Superset Kubernetes Operator instead and follow the migration guide if you are already using the Helm chart.
