This section provides a technical review of a ClearOS app:
Every app has a simple basename that is used as a keyword across various systems. For example, the Base app uses the basename base.
System | Example |
---|---|
Packaging | app-certificate-manager-2.4.24-1.v7.noarch |
Marketplace | Certificate Manager |
Documentation | Certificate Manager Docs |
Bug Tracker | List of issues |
GIT | https://gitlab.com/clearos/clearfoundation/app-certificate-manager |
Translations | Certificate Manager app in Dutch |
An app uses the traditional Linux file system layout, so you can find an app installed in the locations defined in the following table.
Location | Type | Purpose |
---|---|---|
/etc/clearos/basename | File | Simple configuration file (optional) |
/etc/clearos/basename.d | Directory | Configlet files (optional) |
/usr/clearos/apps/basename/ | Directory | Core software, libraries and GUI (required) |
/var/clearos/basename | Directory | State files (optional) |
In many circumstances, a ClearOS app may need to use a library from another app. For example, the PPTP Server requires bits and pieces from the Samba library. For this reason, every app is packaged into two distinct RPMs:
When the PPTP Server is installed, it will pull in the app-samba-core library, but not the whole Samba GUI frontend.
