Hello, The plan is to eventually build a seamless experience on the NiFi side where it would obtain the required NARs for a versioned flow, but that work has taken place yet.
The ability to store the bundles in registry with an API for retrieving them is the starting point for that. Currently there are some NiFi CLI commands which may be helpful for you, there is one for "download-bundle" [1]. Also, you don't have to restart nifi, you can put the NAR into the directory specified by nifi.nar.library.autoload.directory and it will auto-load, the default directory is ./extensions. You need to do a hard refresh of the UI before you'll see the components since the UI currently caches the list on first load.
