Creating Your Own Applications Catalog

[HarryMuscle]

Unfortunately TrueNAS Scale does not yet (not sure if it ever will) have the ability to quickly deploy custom applications using a configuration file that gets uploaded (ie: uploading a helm chart), so I assume the best approach to quickly deploy preconfigured applications is to setup your own applications catalog sort of like TrueCharts just on a way smaller scale. Is there any development documentation available on the bare minimum setup required to have a functioning applications catalog that TrueNAS Scale will work with? Is this catalog based on an industry standard of some sorts of is it something custom to TrueNAS Scale? Any pointers are highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Harry

That is a VERY good question :)

It's even way better:
if you upload a pre-configured helm-chart to a App Catalog, you can just enter the name and hit "install". All config will then be used as stated in the catalog/helm-chart. With support for all things SCALE Apps: Updates, (basic)Rollbacks, Backups... But without having any configuration actually in the SCALE GUI...

We expect that such a solution is actually the most likely way enterprise users are going to eventually roll-out SCALE.

We've a bare-bones template catalog available in github you can try to play with :)
