App Store

The App Store is a catalog of pre-configured application templates. Instead of filling in a full Deployment form from scratch, you pick an app from the catalog, review the defaults, and deploy it with a few clicks.

Deploying an application

Open App Store and click on any application card. A deploy dialog opens with pre-filled defaults — the container image, port, and replica count are already set based on the template. You can change the namespace, name, and any other field before clicking Deploy. CasOS creates the Deployment (and a Service if the template specifies a port) in the chosen namespace.

The deployed application then appears in Workloads → Deployments alongside anything you created manually. There is no distinction once deployed — you manage it the same way as any other deployment.

DockerHub browser

When creating or updating a Deployment, you can browse DockerHub directly from the image selector. Search for a public image by name, choose a tag from the list, and CasOS fills the image field automatically. This avoids typos in image references and makes it easy to find the right tag without leaving the browser.

Managing application templates (Sites)

Platform administrators can add custom templates to the catalog. Navigate to App Store → Add Site and fill in a display name, description, icon URL, default image, default port, and a category for grouping. Once saved, the template appears in the catalog for all users.

Templates are stored as Site objects in the CasOS database. They define defaults only — users can change any field when deploying, so a template does not restrict what gets deployed, it just makes the common case faster.
