Description

1. Allow a mechanism to change the default Helm Chart Repository.
2. As a cluster admin, I would like to have multiple Helm Chart repositories configured for my cluster so that the end-users (developers) I support can have a broader set of packaged applications they need.
3. Allow a cluster admin to hide (1) charts from the catalog and (2) Helm from dev console nav

Exploration Results

1. GA feature, thus should be properly documented
2. GA feature, thus need to provide enablement
3. Include in what's new RHD blog and consider for improved usability blog

Jamboards

• Step 1 - Empathize
• Step 2 - Define
• Step 3 - Ideate

Initial Epic Exploration

Acceptance Criteria

1. As an admin, I should be able to add new Chart Repositories (CR mechanism is fine)
2. As an admin, I should be able to remove Chart Repositories, including the default (CR mechanism is fine)
3. As an admin, I don't want anyone to be able to use helm charts (remove it from +Add, Navigation & Catalogs)
4. As an admin, I'd like a Quick Start to show me how to manage Helm Chart Repositories

1. As a dev, I want to see the name of the chart repo on the Chart card in the catalog
2. As a dev, I want to be able to easily distinguish between 2 charts with the same name coming from different Chart Repos
3. As a dev, I want to be able to filter my catalog by chart repo, assuming multiple repos are configured
4. As a dev, I want to get more insight into the charts at the catalog level, so I don't have to click on them & see the side panel for the details

Note

• Need to do some design exploration if we'd want to provide the developer with a way to select which chart repo they'd like to see charts from in the Dev Catalog.

Re: ability to just change the default Helm Repo

• We have a kind of hack to do it where we run a script that changes some environment variables in console deployment.
• https://gist.github.com/pedjak/0509e2fb9aa3b2b2a599bd61875f0936 is the script that does that but it needs the console-operator to be in Unmanaged state to work correctly now.
• https://github.com/openshift/enhancements/pull/175 is the design proposal to add support for configuring Helm chart repositories. It will be based on a HelmChartRepository CRD.
• We're trying to get official support in Helm itself and not just openshift. Predrag has a proposal up in official Helm repo as well - https://github.com/helm/helm/issues/8175
