Adding an Application with Default Configuration¶
Adding an application in DevOps Cockpit is the first step to start your journey. You can add different types of applications based on the application type and hosting type.
In DevOps Cockpit, you can quickly create an application with the default configuration. In this configuration, the application is auto-configured with the default version, CSP header and the application role and scope.
Pre-requisites¶
- Your self-hosted application is reachable via DNS and a valid SSL certificate (self-signed certificates are not allowed).
- CF applications should be hosted on Cloud Foundry.
Procedure¶
To quickly create an application with default configuration, follow these steps:
- In the "Application" tab, click “Create New App”. Or, on the Home screen click "Start with an application".
- In the "Add new application" screen, select the "Type" and "Infrastructure".
- Enter the "Display Name" and "Component Url". The "Internal name" is automatically populated based on the entered display name. You can also update this field with the required name.
- Upload the icon in the "Application Icon" field and click "Save".
- Click the to check if the name and version of the application already exists. It is recommended to use unique application names to avoid app validation failures at the later stage of application lifecycle.
Note
You can click "Advanced Configuration" to configure your application with custom configuration.
