Murano bundles

A bundle is a collection of packages. In the Community App Catalog, you can find such bundles as container-based-apps, app-servers, and so on. The packages in the Application Catalog are sorted by usage. You can import bundles from the catalog using Dashboard or CLI. You can read about this in Managing applications and Using CLI. Specific information about bundle-import command can be found at Murano command-line client.

Bundle structure

Bundle description is a JSON structure, that contains list of packages in the bundle and bundle version. Here is the example:

{
    "Packages": [
        {
            "Name": "com.example.apache.ApacheHttpServer",
            "Version": ""
        },
        {
            "Name": "com.example.apache.Tomcat",
            "Version": ""
        }
    ],
    "Version": 1
}

Name is a required parameter and should contain package fully qualified name. Version is not a mandatory parameter. Version for package entry specifies the version of the package to look into Murano package repository. If it is specified, murano client would look for a file with that version specification in murano repository (for example com.example.MyApp.0.0.1.zip for com.example.MyApp of version 0.0.1). If the version is omitted or left blank client would search for com.example.MyApp.zip.

Create local bundle

However, you may need to create a local bundle. You may need it if you want to setup your own Murano package repository. To create a new bundle, perform the following steps:

1. Navigate to the directory with the target packages.

2. Create a .bundle file. List all the required packages in Packages section. If needed, specify the bundle version in the Version section.
