Monocular is a web-based application that enables the search and discovery of charts from multiple Helm Chart repositories. It is the codebase that powers the Helm Hub project.
Click here to learn more about Helm, Charts and Kubernetes.
Monocular is deprecated and no longer supported. There have been no new updates to the codebase since March 2020. It has now been deprecated by the maintainers.
If you need an open source project to display your charts you may consider using the Artifact Hub (which you can run yourself). Helm uses the Artifact Hub software to power the built-in hub search.
You can use the chart in this repository to install Monocular in your cluster.

To focus on the CNCF Helm Hub requirements, in-cluster features have been removed from Monocular 1.0 and above. We believe that providing a good solution for deploying and managing apps in-cluster is an orthogonal user experience to a public search and discovery site. There is other tooling that can support this usecase better (e.g. Kubeapps or RedHat Automation Broker).
Monocular v0.7.3 includes in-cluster features and can still be installed and used until your team has migrated to another tool.
The Monocular roadmap is currently located in the wiki.
This project is still under active development, so you'll likely encounter issues.
