App Installation
When installing applications, if you choose Selective application, you will be presented with the following menu system.
This will allow you to install based on what applications you've selected.
Using the options, you can enable or disable certain applications/services that you wish to install. This will be updated live on this menu before you proceed to install so that you know what's going to be installed.
See here for more about toggling applications.
Any applications/services that have already been installed, will be redeployed again, useful if you've changed credentials, resource limits etc. It will just be updated with the new set of values. That's how you redeploy applications and update their settings.
Applications which you don't want to be installed but are already running will be ignored. You will need to stop them individually via
docker stop <application_name>You can also check the application name with igm show to list all the installed applications.
Applications that have stopped will be auto-removed and cleaned up on the next redeployment.
Service applications are supplementary, that are not considered primary income sources. Instead, they typically function as bots or support applications, designed for single-time installation (only once on a delegated device only). Their primary role is to enhance the overall earnings of a main application by providing additional assistance.
For instance, applications like Honeygain and Bearshare offer daily rewards that contribute to your total earnings. However, these rewards require you to manually log into the dashboard each day to claim them, but only if you have met the required threshold; otherwise, frequent checking is necessary.
These service applications or bots automate this process, handling the daily tasks without the need for manual intervention.
Applications of this nature will be categorized under the Service type.
ℹ️ Note that service application usually share the same credentials as the main app counterpart, so you will need to enable the application first and configure the credentials via Setup configuration option or igm setup CLI command, before disabling it if you want to only install the service counterpart and not the main application.
If you select any of the other options other than Selective applications which allows you to choose and preview before installing, the following other options are pre-defined base on the Application Table Definition.
For instance, if you're installing on a server, the fastest way to install all applications that only supports hosting IPs, you would just choose option 3. This will override any applications you have enabled or disabled.
These options are good if you intend to install everything and don't want to worry if a certain applications supports hosting or residential only.
