Submit to Artifact Hub

A web catalogue for finding and installing cloud-native packages such as Helm charts, operators, Kubernetes policies, Tekton tasks and container images. It only accepts package repositories of the kinds it supports, so it suits a product that ships a Helm chart or something similar and is no place for a general SaaS listing. A publisher signs in, adds the repository from the control panel, and every package gets a page built from its metadata, including a link to the project's homepage.

How to submit to Artifact Hub

  1. Open the Artifact Hub submission page

    This is the page makers use to add a product.

  2. Create an account

    Artifact Hub asks you to sign up before you can submit.

  3. Have your assets ready

    Name, tagline, description, logo and screenshots. The checklist below covers what to prepare so you can fill the form in one go.

  4. Fill in the form carefully

    Pick the most specific category the form offers and write the description for the people who browse Artifact Hub (Kubernetes users, platform engineers and DevOps teams searching for charts, operators, policies and plugins to install), not for search engines.

  5. Check your listing

    Listings go live without review. Open yours, check the details and check the link points to the right page.

Tips for Artifact Hub

  • Listing is automatic. After you add the repository in the control panel it is indexed on a schedule (the FAQ says every 30 minutes), and it is only processed again when the repository has changed.
  • For the Verified publisher label, add an artifacthub-repo.yml file containing the repository ID shown in the control panel. For Helm it has to sit beside index.yaml and be served from the same server.
  • The Official badge is a separate, manual request through a GitHub issue. It needs Verified publisher status and a README for each official package, and it is meant for the owner of the software itself, not just of the chart.
  • A repository URL can only be added once. If someone else already added yours, use Claim Ownership in the control panel with a metadata file that lists your sign-in email as an owner.

From Artifact Hub’s own guidelines and pages, in our words.

What to prepare

The basics every directory asks for, plus what matters most for developer tool directories.

  • Product name and a one-line tagline (about 60 characters)
  • A short description (1–2 sentences) and a longer one (a short paragraph)
  • Square logo, at least 256×256 px, PNG or SVG
  • 2–3 screenshots at a consistent size
  • The exact page you want the link to point to
  • Pricing model (free, freemium or paid) and a contact email
  • Links to your docs and a quick-start or install command
  • Your GitHub or GitLab repo, if public
  • Supported languages, frameworks and platforms
  • Pricing for the API or hosted tier, including free limits

Is Artifact Hub worth it?

A followed link, with a low bar

The listing link we inspected was followed, but listings go live without human review. Directories that accept everyone tend to carry less weight, so treat it as a small plus, not a priority.

  • Domain Rating by Ahrefs: 79 (very strong). That's the strength of links to the whole site, not a promise about what your listing passes on.
  • No Tranco rank on record, so we can’t say how much traffic it gets.
  • Listings are published without human review.
  • Free to list, so the only cost is your time.

This verdict is worked out from the facts above with fixed rules (link type, review, price, Domain Rating by Ahrefs, Tranco rank), not paid for. The directory has no say in it.
