Rancher Catalog

A curated collection of Rancher 2.0 enhanced Helm charts. To see how catalogs are added and used in Rancher 2.0 take a look at the docs page.

Rancher Chart Structure

A Rancher chart repository differs slightly in directory structure from upstream repos in that it includes an app version directory. Though Rancher can use native Helm repositories as well.

A Rancher chart also has two additional files an app-readme.md file that provides a high level overview display in the Rancher 2.0 UI and a questions.yml file defining questions to prompt the user with.

charts/wordpress/<app version>/
  app-readme.md            # Rancher Specific: Readme file for display in Rancher 2.0 UI
  charts/                  # Directory containing dependency charts
  Chart.yaml               # Required Helm chart information file
  questions.yml            # Rancher Specific: File containing questions for Rancher 2.0 UI
  README.md                # Optional: Helm Readme file (will be rendered in Rancher 2.0 UI as well)
  requirements.yaml        # Optional YAML file listing dependencies for the chart
  templates/               # A directory of templates that, when combined with values.yml will generate K8s YAML
  values.yaml              # The default configuration values for this chart

See the upstream Helm chart developer reference for a complete walk through of developing charts.

To convert an upstream chart to take advantage of Rancher's enhanced UX, first create an app-readme.md file in the root of your chart.

$ cat ./app-readme.md

# Wordpress ROCKS!

Then add a questions.yml file to prompt the user for something.

categories:
- Blog
- CMS
questions:
- variable: persistence.enabled
  default: "false"
  description: "Enable persistent volume for WordPress"
  type: boolean
  required: true
  label: WordPress Persistent Volume Enabled
  show_subquestion_if: true
  group: "WordPress Settings"
  subquestions:
  - variable: persistence.size
    default: "10Gi"
    description: "WordPress Persistent Volume Size"
    type: string
    label: WordPress Volume Size
  - variable: persistence.storageClass
    default: ""
    description: "If undefined or null, uses the default StorageClass. Default to null"
    type: storageclass
    label: Default StorageClass for WordPress

The above will prompt the user with a true / false radio button in the UI for enabling persistent storage. If the user choses to enable persistent storage they will be prompted for a storage class and volume size.

The above file also provides a list of categories that this chart fits into. This helps users navigate and filtering when browsing the catalog UI.
