This tutorial walks you through how to onboard a Terraform template to your account by using the CLI. By completing this tutorial, you learn how to create a private catalog and import the template. After that, you can validate that the template can create resources, or run a script, and you can make it available to users who have access to your account. {: shortdesc}

{: #tutorial-terraform-template-cli-catalog} {: step}
Complete the following steps to add your software by using the CLI. You can use this task in a CI/CD process.
Create a private catalog. Private catalogs provide a way for you to manage access to products for users in your account. For more information, see the cli documentation for creating a private catalog.
ibmcloud catalog create --name CATALOG [--catalog-description "DESCRIPTION"]
{: codeblock}
{: #tutorial-terraform-template-cli-catalog-add} {: step}
Add software to your private catalog. For more information, see the cli documentation for adding software to your private catalog.
ibmcloud catalog offering create --catalog "Name of catalog" --zipurl https://software.url.com.tgz
{: codeblock}
If you want to import software from a private repository, you can use a personal access token by adding [--token TOKEN] to your command. {: important}
{: #tutorial-terraform-template-cli-catalog-category} {: step}
Add a category. By default, the Developer tools category is added to your product. For more information, see the cli documentation for adding a category.
ibmcloud catalog offering add-category --catalog "Name of catalog" --offering "software-offering" --category "category"
{: codeblock}
{: #tutorial-terraform-template-cli-catalog-update} {: step}
To update a product in your private catalog, you first need get the product and then you can update. For more information, see the cli documentation for updating your product.
Run the offering get
command. For more information, see ibmcloud catalog offering get.
ibmcloud catalog offering get -c <CATALOGID> -o <OFFERINGID> --output json
{: codeblock}
Run the offering update
command.
ibmcloud catalog offering update -c <CATALOGID> -o <OFFERINGID> --updated-offering <UPDATED_OFFERING.json>
{: codeblock}
{: #tutorial-terraform-template-cli-catalog-import} {: step}
Import the software version that you want in your catalog.
ibmcloud catalog offering import-version -c <CATALOGID> -o <OFFERINGID> --zipurl <TGZ> --target-version <VERSION>
{: codeblock}
{: #tutorial-terraform-template-cli-catalog-validate} {: step}
Validate the software. For more information, see the cli documentation for validating the software.
ibmcloud catalog offering version validate --version-locator VERSION_NUMBER --cluster CLUSTER_ID --namespace NAME [--timeout TIMEOUT] [--wait WAIT] [--override-values VALUES|FILENAME]
{: codeblock}
Deploying the software can take a few minutes. You can check the validation status by querying the product validation state. The validation is complete when the state is Valid. For more information, see the cli documentation for validation status.
ibmcloud catalog offering version validate-status --version-locator VERSION_NUMBER [--output FORMAT]
{: codeblock}
{: #mark-version-ready} {: step}
When a product is published, all versions marked as ready within it have the same visibility. If your product is approved to publish, you can use the following commands to manage sharing your versions and products.
ibmcloud catalog offering ready --vl <VERSION_LOCATOR>
{: codeblock}
{: #tutorial-terraform-template-cli-catalog-publish} {: step}
Publish your software to make it available to users in your account. For more information, see the cli documentation for publishing to your account.
ibmcloud catalog offering publish account [--catalog CATALOG][--offering OFFERING]
