Installing Applications¶

Target Audience: Administrators Difficulty: Beginner Prerequisites: At least one Company created

Overview ¶

Applications are the tools MultiFlexi executes — importers, exporters, reporters, integrations. They must first be installed on the server as Debian packages, then registered in MultiFlexi, and finally assigned to a company.

Step 1: Install the Application Package ¶

All available applications are in the repo.multiflexi.eu APT repository.

# Search for available applications
apt search multiflexi

# Install a specific application
sudo apt install multiflexi-probe

# Install all standard applications
sudo apt install multiflexi-all

After installation the application’s .app.json file is placed in the MultiFlexi applications directory and automatically imported into the database.

Step 2: Verify the Application is Registered ¶

multiflexi-cli application list

The application should appear in the list. If it does not, import it manually:

multiflexi-cli application import-json \
  --file /usr/share/multiflexi/apps/probe.app.json

Step 3: Assign the Application to a Company ¶

Via the web interface:

Open the company detail page (Companies → select company)
Click “📦 Applications” tab
Find the application in the “Available” list
Click “✓ Assign” or “Install”

The application now appears in the company’s installed applications list and you can create RunTemplates for it.

Via CLI:

multiflexi-cli company assign-app \
  --company=ACME \
  --app=multiflexi-probe

Configuring Application Parameters ¶

Many applications have configuration fields (API URLs, file paths, behaviour flags). These are set per-company on the assignment:

After assigning, click the application name in the company view
Fill in the configuration fields shown
Save

Importing Custom Application JSON ¶

Applications do not have to come from a Debian package. Any valid .app.json file can be imported:

# Validate first
multiflexi-cli application validate-json --file myapp.app.json

# Import
multiflexi-cli application import-json --file myapp.app.json

The JSON must conform to the application schema. See Applications for full details.

Updating an Application ¶

# Update package
sudo apt install multiflexi-probe  # re-installs latest version

# Re-import updated JSON
multiflexi-cli application import-json \
  --file /usr/share/multiflexi/apps/probe.app.json \
  --update

Removing an Application from a Company ¶

Removing an application from a company does not delete existing job history.

multiflexi-cli company unassign-app \
  --company=ACME \
  --app=multiflexi-probe
