Install an Application

Sometimes, before installing a container application, you must create a configuration template for the application. However, most Extreme Docker applications offer a pre-configured template.

Note

The following Extreme Docker applications are installed with default configuration templates. You cannot modify templates for the following applications:

Extreme Defender Application
Scheduler for ExtremeCloud IQ Controller
AirDefense Base Application

For more information about template configuration settings, see Configuration Template Details.

Before running the installed application, you must generate an API Key and associate it with the application. For more information about the API Key, see REST API Access for Docker Container Applications.

Note

ExtremeCloud IQ Controller supports installation of a Docker file with a specific numerical version. Applications indicating the "Latest Version" or version numbers that include alphabetic characters are not supported. Twenty percent of the appliance hardware capacity is allocated for Docker file applications.

Take the following steps to install an application:

Go to Administration > Applications.
Select Add to create the Configuration Template.
