helm template portainer/ --set enterpriseEdition.enabled=true --set enterpriseEdition.image.tag="2.7.0"
2. Install helm chart
helm install --create-namespace -n portainer portainer portainer/portainer
3. Install helm chart with local repository
helm install --create-namespace -n portainer portainer-local portainer/ \
--values portainer/values.yaml

helm install --set image.tag="2.6.0" --create-namespace \
-n portainer portainer-2-6 portainer/ \
--values portainer/values.yaml
4. helm chart repo
