I need to move my helm (/usr/local/bin/helm) to another server, and I can't work out how to helm to connect to remote tiller or a remote Kubernetes server.
Helm is running locallyy on the server B (k8s). I want it to run server A, to be able to connect to the server B to execute the YAML files.
IIRC Helm should act against whichever cluster is set as your current context for kubectl on server A.
Set up kubectl on your server. Use kubectl config use-context to target the cluster and helm should follow.
You'll probably want to do helm init --client-only on the server to initialize helm without reinstalling tiller.
NOTE: This only applies to Helm 2. Tiller has been removed in Helm 3.
The docs for Helm really skim over this and don't do a good job of explaining but after closer inspection:
You should also have a local configured copy of
kubectl.
https://helm.sh/docs/intro/quickstart/
Helm will figure out where to install Tiller by reading your Kubernetes configuration file (usually
$HOME/.kube/config). This is the same file thatkubectluses.
Also, if you have a newer version of Helm there's no need to install Tiller, it's been removed as noted in the release notes.

@switchboard.op is correct just adding this as an answer with some more ancillary information
