1 | | -Extension authors have the mechanisms to offer their product as part of a curated catalog of extensions, that they can push updates to over-the-air (eg publish new versions, publish patched versions with CVEs, etc). Cluster admins can sign up to receive these updates on clusters, by adding the catalog to the cluster. When a catalog is added to a cluster, the kubernetes extension packages in that catalog become available on cluster for installation and receiving updates. |
2 | | - |
3 | | -For example, the [k8s-operatorhub/community-operators](https://github.com/k8s-operatorhub/community-operators) is a catalog of curated extensions that contains a list of extensions being developed by the community. The list of extensions can be viewed in [Operatorhub.io](https://operatorhub.io). This catalog is distributed as an image [quay.io/operatorhubio/catalog](https://quay.io/repository/operatorhubio/catalog?tag=latest&tab=tags) for consumption on clusters. |
4 | | - |
5 | | -To consume this catalog on cluster, create a `Catalog` Custom Resource(CR) with the image specified in the `spec.source.image` field: |
6 | | - |
7 | | -```bash |
8 | | -$ kubectl apply -f - <<EOF |
9 | | -apiVersion: catalogd.operatorframework.io/v1alpha1 |
10 | | -kind: Catalog |
11 | | -metadata: |
12 | | - name: operatorhubio |
13 | | -spec: |
14 | | - source: |
15 | | - type: image |
16 | | - image: |
17 | | - ref: quay.io/operatorhubio/catalog:latest |
18 | | -EOF |
19 | | -``` |
20 | | - |
21 | | -The packages made available for installation/receiving updates on cluster can then be explored by querying the `Package` and `BundleMetadata` CRs: |
22 | | - |
23 | | -```bash |
24 | | -$ kubectl get packages |

| 1 | +Extension authors can publish their products in catalogs. |
| 2 | +Catalogs are curated collections of Operators and extensions. |
| 3 | +Cluster administrators can add these catalogs to their cluster. |
| 4 | +When extension authors publish updates to their catalogs, cluster administrators can install and update those changes. |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +For example, the [Kubernetes community Operators catalog](https://github.com/k8s-operatorhub/community-operators) is a catalog of curated extensions that is developed by the Kubernetes community. |
| 7 | +You can see the available extensions at [Operatorhub.io](https://operatorhub.io). |
| 8 | +This catalog is distributed as an image [quay.io/operatorhubio/catalog](https://quay.io/repository/operatorhubio/catalog?tag=latest&tab=tags) that can be installed on clusters. |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +## Prerequisites |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +* Access to a Kubernetes cluster, for example `kind`, using an account with `cluster-admin` permissions |
| 13 | +* [Operator Controller installed](https://github.com/operator-framework/operator-controller/releases) on the cluster |
| 14 | +* [Catalogd installed](https://github.com/operator-framework/catalogd/releases/) on the cluster |
| 15 | +* Kubernetes CLI (`kubectl`) installed on your workstation |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +## Procedure |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +1. Create a catalog custom resource (CR): |
| 20 | + ```yaml |
| 21 | + apiVersion: catalogd.operatorframework.io/v1alpha1 |
| 22 | + kind: Catalog |
| 23 | + metadata: |
| 24 | + name: operatorhubio |
| 25 | + spec: |
| 26 | + source: |
| 27 | + type: image |
| 28 | + image: |
| 29 | + ref: <catalog_image> |
| 30 | + pollInterval: <poll_interval_duration> |
| 31 | + ``` |
| 32 | + where: |
| 33 | +
|
| 34 | + `catalog_image` |
| 35 | + :Specifies the image reference for the catalog you want to install, such as `quay.io/operatorhubio/catalog:latest`. |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | + `poll_interval_duration` |
| 38 | + :Specifies the interval for polling the remote registry for newer image digests. |
| 39 | + The default value is `24h`. |
| 40 | + Valid units include seconds (`s`), minutes (`m`), and hours (`h`). |
| 41 | + To disable polling, set a zero value, such as `0s`. |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | + <details> |
| 44 | + <summary>Example `operatorhub.yaml` CR</summary> |
| 45 | + ```yaml |
| 46 | + apiVersion: catalogd.operatorframework.io/v1alpha1 |
| 47 | + kind: Catalog |
| 48 | + metadata: |
| 49 | + name: operatorhub |
| 50 | + spec: |
| 51 | + source: |
| 52 | + type: image |
| 53 | + image: |
| 54 | + ref: quay.io/operatorhubio/catalog:latest |
| 55 | + pollInterval: 1h |
| 56 | + ``` |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +1. Apply the catalog CR: |
| 59 | + ```terminal |
| 60 | + $ kubectl apply -f <catalog_cr>.yaml |
| 61 | + ``` |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | + **Example output** |
| 64 | + ```text |
| 65 | + catalog.catalogd.operatorframework.io/redhat-operators created |
| 66 | + ``` |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +### Verification |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +* Run the following commands to verify the status of your catalog: |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | + * Check if your catalog is available on the cluster: |
| 73 | + ```terminal |
| 74 | + $ kubectl get catalog |
| 75 | + ``` |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | + **Example output** |
| 78 | + ```text |
| 79 | + NAME PHASE AGE |
| 80 | + operatorhubio 9s |
| 81 | + ``` |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | + * Check the status of your catalog: |
| 84 | + ```terminal |
| 85 | + $ kubectl describe catalog |
| 86 | + ``` |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | + **Example output** |
