You can fill your custom catalogs with either Helm Charts or Rancher Charts, although we recommend Rancher Charts due to their enhanced user experience.

    1. Recommended: Create an app-readme.md file.

      Use this file to create custom text for your chart’s header in the Rancher UI. You can use this text to notify users that the chart is customized for your environment or provide special instruction on how to use it.

      Example:

    2. Recommended: Create a questions.yml file.

      The example below creates a form that prompts users for persistent volume size and a storage class.

      For a list of variables you can use when creating a questions.yml file, see .

      1.     categories:
      2.     - Blog
      3.     - CMS
      4.     questions:
      5.     default: "false"
      6.     description: "Enable persistent volume for WordPress"
      7.     type: boolean
      8.     required: true
      9.     label: WordPress Persistent Volume Enabled
      10.     show_subquestion_if: true
      11.     group: "WordPress Settings"
      12.     subquestions:
      13.         default: "10Gi"
      14.         description: "WordPress Persistent Volume Size"
      15.         type: string
      16.         label: WordPress Volume Size
      17.     - variable: persistence.storageClass
      18.         default: ""
      19.         description: "If undefined or null, uses the default StorageClass. Default to null"
      20.         type: storageclass

    3. Check the customized chart into your GitHub repo.

    Result: Your custom chart is added to the repo. Your Rancher Server will replicate the chart within a few minutes.
