Marketplace

SkyPort exposes a marketplace catalog through the backend API. The catalog is a list of app manifests, not a registry service.

What The Marketplace Actually Does

• lists app manifests with categories, install modes, ports, and metadata
• serves icon assets for catalog entries
• records install events with a selected install mode

Catalog Example

skyport marketplace list

The returned catalog contains real metadata from the backend catalog, including entries such as databases, runtimes, developer tools, and monitoring apps.

Install Recording

The CLI records installs as native or Docker-based. It does not pretend to provision an entire app store backend.

skyport marketplace install --slug postgres --mode native
skyport marketplace install --slug redis --mode docker

Example Workflow

1. Inspect the catalog.
2. Choose an app slug.
3. Record the install mode you actually used.
4. Keep notes for operator history or audits.

Supported Install Modes

• native
• docker

UI Notes

Next

1. Read Monitoring to see how SkyPort reports runtime health.
2. Visit Docker if your app runs in containers.
3. Open Projects if you want the project layer above the catalog.
