Hi I have installed nexus OSS 3.19.1-01 running on kubernetes.

I have to install a helm chart plugin ([GitHub - sonatype-nexus-community/nexus-repository-helm: At the Helm, Helm Yeah, v k8s](https://github.com/sonatype-nexus-community/nexus-repository-helm)), and eventually others, but I’m not sure how to install it in my kubernetes setup.

Should I create a custom docker image including the plugin bundle?

I’m currently using sonatype/nexus3:3.19.1 docker image.

Thanks,  
Augusto

Welcome to the Community, Augusto!

Your best bet will be to build an image with the helm kar file already in `$install-dir/deploy`.

I put together a quick & dirty example of such an image:

You build and run it as you normally would:

```auto
docker build -f nexus-helm.Dockerfile -t nexus3-helm .
docker run --name nexus-helm -d -p 8081:8081 nexus3-helm

```
