An application is software that runs its processing logic and data storage between 2 different systems: client-side and server-side. Some processing takes place on an end user’s local hardware, such as a desktop or mobile device, and others on a remote server.
In Taikun you can find more than 200 public repositories and also private repositories which you can import with the HELM REPO URL.
How to install an Application in the cluster #
Enable required repositories for your application #
Create a catalog for adding applications and binding projects #
- When creating a catalog in Taikun, it’s important to provide a clear description of the catalog and the applications it contains
- Only applications whose repositories have been enabled will be visible
- To ensure a successful installation, it is recommended to only bind projects that are healthy and in a ready state
- Parameter configurations can easily be located by browsing or searching within Taikun
- When installing an application, it is possible to specify a specific version or use the latest version automatically
- If the parameters are set to be both editable when installing and after installation, it is mandatory to configure them before proceeding with the installation
Install the application in the cluster #
- In the Instance name, only alphanumeric characters are allowed
- Multiple projects can be bound to any catalog. When installing, a list of bonded projects will be visible
- Custom Namespace can be input
- If autosync is enabled, applications will automatically sync whenever any updates are made
- Selected parameters can be added/removed while installing applications. Only parameters that are set as “Editable when installing” can have their values changed during installation
- Extra values can be added to the application during installation
After installation #
After installing the application, users can find the status of the application in
catalogs 
select user catalog select installed application projects
- Inside the application, basic details, parameters, and default values can be found
- Parameters can be edited and applications can be synced again
- Different versions of applications can be selected, note that users can only select the latest version, not an older one
- A catalog can only be deleted if it is empty and has no applications or projects attached, otherwise, it cannot be deleted if a project is bound to it and an application has been added
Find all installed applications #
- In the Applications section, you can find a list of all installed applications with information such as namespace, catalog name, and bound projects
- It is possible to directly uninstall any of the installed applications from this section
Explore the applications #
In this section, one can find a list of all installed applications whose repositories are currently enabled. This allows for easy access and management of these applications, including the ability to directly uninstall them if needed
