App Store
The EmberNet App Store lets you deploy industrial applications, from SCADA gateways and automation runtimes to historians and analytics engines, onto your edge nodes in a few clicks, with no manual configuration and nothing to wire up by hand.
How it works
- Open the App Store from the dashboard.
- Pick an app from the catalog.
- Choose the node to run it on.
- Deploy. EmberNet installs the app, connects it to the platform, and it appears as a running app on that node's card.
Once an app is running, its web interface opens directly inside the dashboard, you never leave EmberNet, and there's no separate URL, login, or network setup to manage. Apps run entirely within your environment.
Running your apps
Every deployed app shows up in two places:
- On its node's card on the dashboard home view, and
- In the Running Apps list in the App Store.
From either, click to open the app's interface in a full-screen panel, or pop it out into its own browser tab. Apps with a terminal or console expose that too, depending on the app.
One instance per node
Most apps run as a single instance per node, so deploying the same app to the same node twice is prevented, so you can't accidentally double up a gateway or a database. A few apps designed to run in multiples (such as Ignition Edge, Node-RED, and CODESYS) can be deployed more than once per node when you need several instances.
Multi-site and remote nodes
The App Store works the same whether a node is in your central cluster or at a remote site reachable only over the EmberNet mesh. Apps deployed to a remote site are served securely back through the mesh, so their interfaces open in the dashboard exactly as local apps do. See Zero-Trust Networking.
The catalog
Each app has its own page with what it does, when to use it, and how it runs on EmberNet.
