Managing Applications

This topic provides information about managing applications, including how to create, delete, and retrieve the slug for applications in the Replicated vendor portal and with the replicated CLI.

For information about creating and managing application with the Vendor API v3, see the apps section in the Vendor API v3 documentation.

Create an Application​

Teams can create one or more applications. It is common to create multiple applications for testing purposes.

Vendor Portal​

To create a new application:

  1. Log in to the vendor portal. If you do not have an account, see Creating a Vendor Account.

  2. In the top left of the page, open the application drop down and click Create new app....

    important

    If you intend to use the application for testing purposes, Replicated recommends that you use a temporary name such as My Application Demo or My Application Test.

    You are not able to restore or modify previously-used application names or application slugs. Only use an official name for your application when you have completed testing and are ready to distribute the application to your customers.

  4. Click Create application.

Replicated CLI​

To create an application with the replicated CLI:

  1. Install the replicated CLI. See Installing the replicated CLI.

  2. Run the following command:

    replicated app create APP-NAME

    Replace APP-NAME with the name that you want to use for the new application.

    Example:

    replicated app create cli-app
    ID                             NAME               SLUG               SCHEDULER
    1xy9t8G9CO0PRGzTwSwWFkMUjZO    cli-app            cli-app            kots

Get the Application Slug​

Each application has a slug, which is used for interacting with the application using the replicated CLI. The slug is automatically generated based on the application name and cannot be changed.

Vendor Portal​

To get an application slug in the vendor portal:

  1. Log in to the vendor portal and go to Application Name > Settings.

  2. Under Application Slug, copy the slug.

Replicated CLI​

To get an application slug with the replicated CLI:

  1. Install the replicated CLI. See Installing the replicated CLI.

  2. Run the following command:

    replicated app ls APP-NAME

    Replace APP-NAME with the name of the target application. Or, exclude APP-NAME to list all applications in the team.

    Example:

    replicated app ls cli-app
    ID                             NAME               SLUG               SCHEDULER
    1xy9t8G9CO0PRGzTwSwWFkMUjZO    cli-app            cli-app            kots

  3. Copy the value in the SLUG field.

Delete an Application​

When you delete an application, you also delete all licenses and data associated with the application. You can also optionally delete all images associated with the application from the Replicated registry. Deleting an application cannot be undone.

Vendor Portal​

To delete an application in the vendor portal:

  1. Log in to the vendor portal and go to Application Name > Settings.

  2. Under Danger Zone, click Delete App.

Replicated CLI​

To delete an application with the replicated CLI:

  1. Install the replicated CLI. See Installing the replicated CLI.

  2. Run the following command:

    replicated app delete APP-NAME

    Replace APP-NAME with the name of the target application.

  3. When prompted, type yes to confirm that you want to delete the application.

    Example:

    replicated app delete deletion-example
