I have two versions of an app in an an internal catalog set of templates. here’s how I defined the “.catalog” section of the rancher-compose.yml for the two versions. But when I start up a version 1.0 stack, the UI does not indicate that an upgrade is available. .catalog: name: "XXX" version: "1.0" description: "The initial version of the XXX catlog." uuid: xxx-1 .catalog: name: "XXX" version: "2.0" description: "The initial version of the XXX catlog." uuid: xxx-2 I should mention, that the rancher-compose.yml in two version directories are identical. I just wanted to test the upgrade feature. Does rancher compare the docker-compose files to ensure they are different between versions? ---

That sounds right, assuming those are in `templates/xxx/0/rancher-compose.yml` and `templates/xxx/1/rancher-compose.yml`… - Are you sure you pushed the changes to where the catalog is configured to look - Waited 5 minutes for it to re-pull it? - If you try to launch a new copy of that template are both versions shown in the dropdown? - If you go to the API (http://your-rancher:8080v1-catalog/templates) are there 2 versionLinks listed for the template? ---

my directory tree looked like the following: templates/xxx/1.0/rancher-compose.yml templates/xxx/2.0/rancher-compose.yml so I made the version number and format match in every case, including the directory names, and waited until I saw my changes in the Rancher UI, and preview pane, then it worked. Thanks…very cool, btw. ---
