App Library

This article refers to Platform v3.2.0. The current Platform version is v3.2.0.

Overview​

The Library view in Barbara Panel is the catalogue of every application available to your organization. It groups three kinds of apps:

  • Docker — Docker-Compose-based applications you and your team upload directly.
  • Marketplace — applications added from the Barbara Marketplace and ready for deployment on your nodes.

From the Library you can create new applications, version them, edit their metadata, and delete versions or whole applications.
