If you are using private Docker registries using self-signed certificates, please pass the registry domains to the operator like below:
Using Helm 3
KubeDB can be installed via Helm using the chart from AppsCode Charts Repository. To install, follow the steps below:
$ helm install kubedb oci://ghcr.io/appscode-charts/kubedb \
--version v2026.4.27 \
--namespace kubedb --create-namespace \
--set-file global.license=/path/to/the/license.txt \
--wait --burst-limit=10000 --debug
$ helm install kubedb oci://ghcr.io/appscode-charts/kubedb \
--version v2026.4.27 \
--namespace kubedb --create-namespace \
--set global.insecureRegistries[0]=hub.example.com \
--set global.insecureRegistries[1]=hub2.example.com \
--set-file global.license=/path/to/the/license.txt \
--wait --burst-limit=10000 --debug
(Alternative) Use License Proxyserver instead of a license file
Instead of passing a license file to every operator, you can install the license-proxyserver chart once. It distributes license tokens to KubeDB and other AppsCode operators inside the cluster, so the helm install kubedb command no longer needs --set-file global.license.
Generate an online license-proxyserver token by following the License Proxyserver guide, then install the chart with that token:
$ helm install license-proxyserver oci://ghcr.io/appscode-charts/license-proxyserver \
--version v2026.2.16 \
--namespace kubeops --create-namespace \
--set platform.baseURL=https://appscode.com \
--set platform.token=<your-token> \
--wait --burst-limit=10000 --debug
With the proxyserver running, install KubeDB without the license flag:
$ helm install kubedb oci://ghcr.io/appscode-charts/kubedb \
--version v2026.4.27 \
--namespace kubedb --create-namespace \
--wait --burst-limit=10000 --debug
