feat(catalog): add YAML-loaded template path for contributors - #918
Merged
Merged
Conversation
Contributors can now add a service template by dropping a YAML file in internal/catalog/contrib/, no Go source or build step required. The loader merges it into the existing catalog.Templates slice unchanged, so it's indistinguishable from a Go-source entry to the API, CLI, and dashboard. Includes one real example (bytestash.yaml, verified locally against ghcr.io/jordan-dalby/bytestash:1.5.13) and a CONTRIBUTING.md section on the format and review model.

Priority: ➖ Normal Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Change: Feature Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Disable later ByteStash signups by default and correct the YAML and Compose examples before merging. The registration risk depends on public exposure, while the Compose issue affects standalone use rather than Levelrail deployment. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Contributor templates reuse the existing deployment authorization and validation. However, the new ByteStash template enables ongoing self-registration. Default loopback binding limits exposure, but externally exposed instances can admit unapproved application accounts. The supported risk is instance-specific, not platform-wide privilege escalation. Retained concerns

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Reject unknown fields and additional YAML documents.
yaml.Unmarshal accepts an unknown key and decodes only the first document. If a contributor misspells requires_gpu, the catalog silently publishes RequiresGPU: false. If a file contains a second document, the loader silently omits it. Use yaml.Decoder with KnownFields(true), then require the next decode to return io.EOF. Add tests for both inputs.

Security Misconfiguration
Reachability: External
Exploitability: Trivial
CWE: CWE-284
Disable new-account registration by default.
If visitors can reach port 5000, ALLOW_NEW_ACCOUNTS: "true" lets them register after the first account and receive a token. Levelrail binds this template's published port to loopback by default, but a public bind or proxy makes registration reachable. Set the flag to "false" unless public registration is intended; ByteStash still permits the first account.
Disable registration after the first account

Compose Specification service volumes top-level volumes declaration required undefined named volume official spec
💡 Result:
**For a named volume used by a service, declare it in the top-level `volumes` section.** The Compose Specification says a named volume must be declared there, and its example shows a service referencing `db-data` alongside a top-level `volumes: db-data:` entry. ([compose-spec.github.io](https://compose-spec.github.io/compose-spec/spec.html))
```yaml
services:
app:
image: example/app
volumes:
- app-data:/data
volumes:
app-data:
```
The top-level entry can be empty; that uses the container engine’s default volume configuration. ([compose-spec.github.io](https://compose-spec.github.io/compose-spec/07-volumes.html))
This requirement is for **named volumes**. A host-path bind mount used by one service can be declared directly in that service instead. ([compose-spec.github.io](https://compose-spec.github.io/compose-spec/spec.html))
Citations:
- 1: https://compose-spec.github.io/compose-spec/spec.html
- 2: https://compose-spec.github.io/compose-spec/07-volumes.html
- 3: https://compose-spec.github.io/compose-spec/spec.html
Declare both named volumes at the Compose top level.
The Compose Specification requires each named service volume to be declared under top-level volumes:. Both bodies omit that declaration, so they are not valid Compose documents. Levelrail derives and provisions its own volume names from the service mounts.

What
internal/catalog/contrib.go: new loader that embeds every YAML file underinternal/catalog/contrib/(go:embed contrib/*.yaml), decodes it into the existingTemplatestruct, and merges the result intocatalog.Templatesalongside the 265 hand-written Go entries. Every consumer (GET /api/v1/service-templates, the CLI, the dashboard picker) sees a YAML-defined template exactly like a Go-defined one.internal/catalog/contrib/bytestash.yaml: one real example, not a placeholder. Verified locally: pulledghcr.io/jordan-dalby/bytestash:1.5.13, booted it with a mounted volume, confirmed HTTP 200 on/, confirmed sqlite data and the JWT secret persist correctly in the mounted volume, and confirmedwget(used in the healthcheck) is present in the image.internal/catalog/contrib_test.go: loader tests covering valid decode, malformed YAML, each missing required field, a duplicate ID withincontrib/itself, and that the realbytestash.yamlexample ends up inTemplates.CONTRIBUTING.md: new "Adding a service template" section with the YAML schema, a filled-in example, and the review model.Why
Adding a template today means writing a Go struct literal in one of 17
templates_*.gofiles and running the Go test suite, a real barrier for a vendor or community contributor who just wants to submit their own compose file. This adds an additive YAML path alongside the existing Go-source catalog; none of the 265 existing entries are touched, converted, or migrated.Review model
No automated pull/boot verification pipeline, and none is planned: this platform is the orchestrator, not the image vendor, and no self-hosting platform bulk-verifies hundreds of vendor images. A human reviews every template PR like any other PR.
CONTRIBUTING.mdasks a contributor to say in their PR description that they ran it locally, but that's not mechanically enforced.Test plan
