Installed Apps

On the Installed Apps page, you can manage your apps. You can perform the following operations on an app:

• Start
• Stop
• Backup
• Update, which will create a backup and then install the latest version of the app.
• Delete, which removes the app and its artifacts; only its backups are preserved.

Miscellaneous

• Apps have a state which can be either Available or Uninitialized. At the moment, the implementation is quite simple, and an app that has been started immediately becomes Available. However, in the background, each app can take a moment, sometimes even minutes, to download and launch the containers. So it can take a while before the app is actually available. We will improve this in the future.
• It is not possible to start two apps with the same name.

Special Case: ocelotcloud / ocelotdb

Ocelot-Cloud uses a postgres database called ocelotdb to store all its data. It is technically efficient to treat the ocelotdb as an app, since it works practically the same way. This is why ocelotcloud / ocelotdb is listed in the Installed Apps page by default. Since the database must always be running and available, your operations on the database app are limited to creating backups. Conversely, restoring backups on the Backups page means restoring Ocelot-Cloud data, such as users, settings, installed apps meta data, etc.
