Overview
The App Store is where you discover and install applications on your Organism platform. It connects to the WiseJNRS App Catalogue — a curated library of containerised applications ready for one-click installation on your own hardware.
Navigate to the App Store by clicking Store in the sidebar.
Browsing the Catalogue
The catalogue displays each application as a detailed card showing:
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| App icon | Visual identifier for the application |
| Name & Publisher | Application name and the publisher (e.g. WiseJNRS) |
| Description | What the application does and its key features |
| Feature list | Checkmarked list of capabilities |
| Tags | Categories like "healthcare", "AI", "practice-management" |
| Price | Monthly cost and free trial availability |
| Preview | Screenshot of the application's interface |
| Status badge | Shows "Installed", "New", or "Featured" |
Featured Apps
Applications marked as Featured appear at the top of the catalogue with a highlighted badge. These are hand-picked by WiseJNRS as recommended applications.
Already Installed
If an application is already installed on your system, it displays a green Installed badge instead of an Install button. You can click Manage to go to its management page.
Installing an Application
Click Install on any app card to start the installation wizard. The wizard guides you through four steps:
Step 1: Configure
Organism auto-generates secure configuration values for your installation:
- Database passwords — cryptographically secure, unique per install
- Encryption keys — for application-level data encryption
- API keys — any keys the application requires
- Environment variables — pre-configured for the application
You can customise any value or accept the secure defaults. Password fields include a show/hide toggle and a regenerate button (🔄) to generate a new random value.
Step 2: Ports & Data
Configure how the application connects to your network and stores data:
Port Mappings:
- Each container service is assigned a host port
- Organism automatically checks for port conflicts with existing services
- Available ports show a ✅ green checkmark; conflicted ports show ⚠️ with a suggestion
Data Volumes:
- Choose where application data is stored
- By default, Organism uses Docker volumes (managed by the container engine)
- You can specify custom paths for direct filesystem storage
Step 3: Licence
Enter your licence key or start a free trial:
- Free trial — most apps offer a 30-day free trial with full features
- Licence key — if you've purchased a licence, enter it here
- Enterprise — enterprise plans are managed through your WiseJNRS account
Organism validates the licence with WiseJNRS servers before proceeding.
Step 4: Install
The final step shows a summary of your configuration and begins the installation:
- Network creation — sets up an isolated Docker network for the app
- Image pull — downloads container images from the registry
- Container start — launches containers in the correct order (database first, then services)
- Migration — runs database schema migrations
- Health check — waits for all containers to report healthy
A progress bar shows each step in real time. Once complete, you'll see the Installation Complete screen:
From here you can:
- Open the app — launches the application in a new browser tab
- Go to Installed — view the app in your installed apps list
- Return to Store — continue browsing for more apps
Resource Requirements
Each app listing displays its minimum resource requirements:
| Resource | Example |
|---|---|
| CPU | 2 cores |
| Memory | 4 GB |
| Disk | 10 GB |
| Network | Internet connection for initial setup |
Organism checks your system resources before installation and warns if requirements aren't met.
