chainctl starter init

chainctl starter init

Initialize a new catalog starter organization.

Synopsis

Initialize a new catalog starter organization.

A catalog starter organization gives a team free access to a small set of Chainguard images for evaluation. Each starter org is entitled to a limited number of images of your choice (base or application); the exact quota is shown by ‘chainctl starter status’. Other Chainguard platform features may be unavailable to starter organizations; refer to the documentation for the current scope.

This command is interactive. It will:

1. Prompt you to authenticate with a supported identity provider.
2. Register a new Chainguard identity for your email address.
3. Create a new starter organization. With a business email address it
   is named after your email domain. With a personal email address you
   name it yourself, at a prompt or with --name, and its registry and
   package paths use its ID instead of the name.

Once your organization exists, the Chainguard platform will automatically entitle it to choose images to be added. It should be ready within a few minutes.

Authentication requirements:

* Use a business email address to get an organization named after your
  company's domain. Where personal email providers (Gmail, Yahoo, etc.)
  are accepted, the organization isn't tied to any domain.
* Authentication must use one of:
    - Email and password; or
    - Google, only if your business uses a Google Workspace account
      registered to your business domain.

If this command fails and you think the organization already exists, you may follow up by running ‘chainctl starter request-access’ to request access.
