How the registry works

Use it in Arcane

1. Open Settings → Templates in Arcane.
2. Add https://registry.getarcane.app/registry.json as a registry.
3. Pick a template, fill in its environment values, and deploy.

Template files

compose.yaml

The Compose project. Images track :latest, except databases pinned to a major version.

.env.example

Every variable the compose file uses without a default. Secrets are placeholders.

template.json

Name, description, author, icon_url and tags. version is optional.

README.md

Deployment notes: first-run steps, paths and links to upstream docs.

Versioning

Every template carries a content_hash computed from template.json, compose.yaml, .env.example and README.md, so Arcane can see when a template changed.

Tags

Templates use tags from this list (tags.json).
