1. Get the exact objects Run for this entry
The Catalog rendered this entry and retains its 3 objects in one file.
An upload can create more Units than the objects counted here. The installer renders a Namespace, and the upload adds an installer-record Unit.
Here is what the command does. cub installer is an open-source plugin for the cub CLI. cub installer setup pulls a catalog package and writes its Kubernetes files locally, leaving delivery to kubectl, Argo CD or Flux. The generated scripts stop before doing any work when the plugin or kustomize is missing.

$ cub installer setup --pull oci://europe-west1-docker.pkg.dev/nth-fort-499605-q5/helm-expt/prometheus-community-prometheus-node-exporter:4.55.0@sha256:b5365489a899714904a438a5a3ccb2f7a7814f1b41bc16cf8fa41638e4ffa9cd --base default --work-dir ./prometheus-community-prometheus-node-exporter-4-55-0-default --non-interactive --namespace default
2. Compare with another version or base Not run for this entry
The listing records no comparison for this entry. The commands run on the retained files, with no account. This version has one other base in the Catalog, cluster-metrics-readonly.
$ curl -fsSL -o prometheus-community-prometheus-node-exporter-4-55-0-cluster-metrics-readonly.yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/confighub/helm-expt/main/recipes/prometheus-community/prometheus-node-exporter/4.55.0/revisions/cluster-metrics-readonly/r001/rendered/release-objects.yaml
$ cub config diff prometheus-community-prometheus-node-exporter-4-55-0-default.yaml prometheus-community-prometheus-node-exporter-4-55-0-cluster-metrics-readonly.yaml --summary
3. Upload it as a variant Run for this entry
The Catalog saved this entry in ConfigHub. The commands use its signed installer package. Read the log of the live walk on 2026-10-08 · Read the record that states this.
Replace each value in angle brackets with a name of your own. The entry id may already exist as a Space in your organization, and the package name as a Component.
In the live walk, a Space named for the nginx entry's id and a Component named bitnami-nginx already existed, so the walk chose its own names. The --component flag sets the Component label the upload writes on the Space, which is the package name when you omit it.
The cub installer plugin reads your organization from CUB_CONTEXT and ignores --context. If you use a context other than your default, export CUB_CONTEXT first, or the plugin works in your default organization.
$ cub auth login
$ cub installer upload --work-dir ./prometheus-community-prometheus-node-exporter-4-55-0-default --space <your-space> --component <your-component>
$ cub unit list --space <your-space>
4. Deploy it Not run for this entry
No delivery run is recorded for this entry. Argo CD has not run, Flux has not run, and kubectl has not run. The commands name the Target workshop/target, which cub cluster up --name workshop creates on a local kind cluster with Argo CD. Use your own Target for a real destination. The coverage lanes record a local Kubernetes run and a GitOps OCI run for this base. They are separate from the delivery record this step reads. Read the log of the live walk on 2026-10-08.
Use the Space name you chose in step 3. The delete command is needed because the cloned installer-record Unit carries the Target and Argo CD v3.5.4 cannot read it, a defect seen on cub v0.8.7 and server v0.8.9.
Without that line the walk deployed nothing and Argo CD showed Unknown, while every cub command exited 0. The walk ran the four commands in this order and did not try them without the first publish.
ConfigHub shows nothing when Argo CD fails to read a Release. Run kubectl -n argocd get applications.argoproj.io and read the Sync column, because Healthy alone is not a pass. Argo CD took between 18 seconds and about 5 minutes to read a Release on a cluster made without argobot.
The walk made its cluster with cub cluster up --no-argobot. That command creates two Spaces, a Worker, a Target and a Trigger, opens ports 30010 to 30019 on the machine, and installs Argo CD from an unpinned upstream manifest.
Removing the ConfigHub side does not remove the workload. In the walk, deleting the Application Unit and the Spaces left the Application and its pods running, because the root Application does not prune.
$ cub variant create dev <your-space> --target workshop/target --space-pattern "template:<your-space>-dev"
$ cub release publish <your-space>-dev
$ cub unit delete --space <your-space>-dev installer-record
$ cub release publish <your-space>-dev
5. Promote a change Partly run for this entry
A promotion ran for this entry. It ran the preview and the promote. The delete and the publish below have no recorded run for this entry. Promotion carries a change in the base to the dev variant. The base changes when you edit a Unit or upload a newer version into the same Space. Read the log of the live walk on 2026-10-08 · Read the record that states this.
The promotion changes the dev Space and publishes nothing. It also adds the installer-record Unit back with the Target. The change reaches the cluster only after the delete and the publish.
The preview lists the whole installer record as added. In the walk, the preview of a one-label change to gpu-operator ran to 405 lines, and about 400 of them were that record.
$ cub variant promote <your-space>-dev --dry-run -o mutations
$ cub variant promote <your-space>-dev --change-desc "Pull the reviewed base forward"
$ cub unit delete --space <your-space>-dev installer-record
$ cub release publish <your-space>-dev
