Install and run apps

Apps install on the appliance, from the LocalOne dashboard — not from this website. The site only shows what is in the catalog so you know what to expect.

Before you start

• LocalOne installed to disk and reachable on your LAN
• Extra disks mounted under Storage if apps need large media folders (e.g. /mnt/extstorage-main)
• Outbound HTTPS so the appliance can reach the app store

Install from the dashboard

1. Open Apps → Available Apps.
2. Open an app → read ports, features, and required folders → View details if present.
3. Click Install. LocalOne fetches signed scripts from the store, verifies checksums / Ed25519 signatures, then runs install.sh on the box.
4. Fill essentials (media path, timezone, toggles) when prompted — paths should live on mounted volumes you care about backing up.
5. Use the installed card to Open the app (usually https://<subdomain>.<hostname>.local), or follow the onboarding guide if the app ships one.

Update / configure / remove

• Update — pulls a newer package version from the store when available.
• Configure — re-runs configure with new essentials (paths, options).
• Uninstall — stops containers; optionally purge app data when the UI offers it.
