how do I add a release (please note - I currently can't view snapshots due to bug)

[Andy Anderson]

can anyone send me a link on instructions on how to add a release using the UI?

Unfortunately I don't think we have a form or button in the UI currently that does this. Creating YAML files and applying them using kubectl is probably your best option.

One of the challenges of the Release object is the "data" field, which accepts arbitrary YAML [1]. The content of the "data" field is passed to the release pipeline, which is expected to consume this information during the pipeline execution. What data is needed, and how it is processed, is up to you as a Konflux administrator. The "tenant pipelines" article has some guidance on how this works, and what is required if development teams want to create and manage their own release processes [2]. We just started curating example release pipelines in the community-catalog repo [3] if you want more examples/inspiration on how to write a release pipeline.

I want to correct Adam here. You *can* create Releases in the UI. One way to do it is to go to your ReleasePlans page and click the 3 dots next to one of them and click "Trigger release plan." I believe you can do the same on a snapshot from the snapshot list page (I am having trouble loading one of those right now). I do not know of any documentation describing this though

Thank you, Johnny. I don’t see release plans on the UI.

You want releases, highlighted on the left. You need to create a releasePlan, which will be listed on this page. Then you can trigger it through the context menu as shown.

I see this in the ui now. Once I get snapshot listings working I will look into this more - Thank you
