market (App-store v2)
CRITICAL — before doing anything, load the olares-shared skill first (profile selection, login, token refresh, auth-error recovery). Flag reference: olares-cli market --help.
Source of truth for flags is always
olares-cli market <verb> --help. This file only carries what--helpcannot give: source resolution, the CLI's OpType-vs-State view of the lifecycle (the state machine itself lives in the appstate reference), OpType-vs-State race safety, the verb index, the-s/-amatrix, and the "what apps do I have" routing.
Platform model: app namespaces (
<app>-<owner>vs the admin-only<app>-shared) and which system-middleware apps an admin installs are defined once in../olares-shared/references/olares-platform.md.
When to use
- Olares Market, olares-cli market, Olares app store, install / upgrade / uninstall / clone / stop / resume / restart / cancel an app
my Olares apps,我的应用,market list --mine,is <app> installed yet, chart upload / delete,--watchuntil terminal state- Catalog:
list,get,categories; runtime:status
Anything outside this scope -> see the Skill suite map in
../olares-shared/SKILL.md(already loaded as the suite prerequisite).
Mental model:
marketis lifecycle and inventory at the app-store level (install / upgrade / chart push). For runtime K8s objects, settings, or metrics, route to a sibling.
Verb families
| Family | Verbs | Mutating? |
|---|---|---|
| catalog | list, get, categories | no |
| runtime | status | no |
| lifecycle | install, upgrade, uninstall, clone, stop, resume, restart, cancel | yes |
| charts | upload, delete | yes |
For verb-specific behavior, always start with olares-cli market <verb> --help. Then drill into a reference if listed:
| Family | Reference |
|---|---|
| catalog + runtime | references/olares-market-list.md (list / --mine / categories / get / status) |
| lifecycle | references/olares-market-lifecycle.md (install / upgrade / uninstall / clone / stop / resume / cancel). restart (POST /apps/restart, version-agnostic body {app_name, source}) shares the resume watch bucket (running) and, like stop/resume, exposes no -s; it also backs the auto-restart in settings network overlay app enable/disable |
--watch / stuck / errors | references/olares-market-watch.md (per-verb watch buckets, foreground windows, stuck-state handling, common errors) |
| charts | references/olares-market-charts.md (upload / delete) |
Source resolution (cross-cutting)
The market backend serves multiple "sources" of charts. The CLI resolves which one to talk to from -s / --source, falling back to a default that depends on the verb:
| Source id | What it is | Used by |
|---|---|---|
market.olares | Public catalog (read-only browse) | default for list, get, categories, install, upgrade, clone, status |
upload | SPA "Local Sources → Upload" bucket | hard-coded for upload / delete — -s is intentionally NOT exposed on those two verbs |
cli | Legacy CLI-upload bucket | read-only (list, status) |
studio | Devbox / Studio bucket | read-only (list, status) |
- When
-sis omitted, every verb that accepts it printsUsing source: <id>to stderr so the agent can confirm which backend was hit. -a / --all-sourcesbypasses single-source resolution and spans every source the user has — read-only verbs only.- Unknown source ids silently produce an empty result with a
no apps in source 'X'stderr hint. Runmarket list -ato enumerate the configured sources.
-s / -a matrix
| Flag | Read-only browse | Lifecycle (mutating) | Chart management |
|---|---|---|---|
-s / --source | list, categories, status, get | install, upgrade, clone | — (hard-coded upload) |
-a / --all-sources | list, categories, status | — | — |
-sis NOT onuninstall/stop/resume/restart: they act on whichever per-user state row matches the app name, regardless of source.cancelnow exposes--source— but only as a fallback for the Olares 1.12.6+ edge case where the per-user state row is gone (or/market/stateis unreadable) and the 1.12.6 cancel body still needs a source. In the normal case the source is read from the state row; do not pass it.
App lifecycle / state machine
Backend facts (states, legal transitions, per-state allowed operations, fail TTLs, single-download serialization,
runningsemantics, progress) live once in../olares-shared/references/olares-platform-appstate.md. This section is only the CLI's view of them. Don't re-derive the state machine here.
The backend tracks two orthogonal axes per app: State (where the row currently is) and OpType (which mutation is in flight). The CLI groups the full enum into four buckets:
| Bucket | Examples | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Progressing | pending, downloading, installing, initializing, applyingEnv, upgrading, uninstalling, stopping, resuming, *Canceling | Backend is actively working — keep polling |
| Terminal success | running, stopped, uninstalled | Mutation finished cleanly |
| Terminal failure | downloadFailed, installFailed, applyEnvFailed, upgradeFailed, uninstallFailed, stopFailed, resumeFailed | Mutation finished with a hard error |
| Canceled / cancel-failed | *Canceled, *CancelFailed | A cancel request landed (or itself failed) |
(Examples are illustrative, not exhaustive — the full state enum per bucket is in the appstate reference.) Each lifecycle verb maps to its own subset of terminal-success buckets — see the lifecycle reference.
OpType vs State (race-safety)
The same State can mean different things depending on which mutation is in flight. Concrete example: an upgrade issued against an app already in running will return state=running, opType=running for one or two ticks before the backend flips to state=upgrading, opType=upgrade. A naive watcher would declare success at tick zero.
The CLI's mutating-verb watchers refuse to accept any "success" classification until either:
- the row's
OpTypematches the op the CLI just issued, or - the row disappears entirely (only legal for
uninstall/status).
cancel and status deliberately set matchOpType=false because they are op-agnostic by design — cancel declares success on any "row stopped moving" state.
--watch semantics (lifecycle verbs)
- Polling, not streaming. Tick on
--watch-interval(default tuned to the backend's progress cadence). --watch-timeout Dcaps total wall-clock time.- One-shot (no
--watch) returns as soon as the backend ACKs the mutation request — the row may still beprogressingfor minutes. - With
--watch, the CLI blocks until the row reaches a terminal bucket (success OR failure) matching the OpType safety rules above. - Idempotent no-ops —
stop/resumeonly:stopon an already-stoppedrow andresumeon an already-runningrow return immediately with success (the watcher recognizes the backend's no-opopType=""instead of hanging).install/upgrade/clonehave no such shortcut — they require the matchingOpTypebefore declaring success.restartreuses theresumewatch bucket (terminalrunning), so its--watchinherits the same idempotent-runningshortcut. --watch-timeout/--watch-intervalare no-ops without--watch(silently ignored, not rejected). There is no--watch-iterationsflag on market verbs.
Agent watch discipline (don't block on a long watch)
--watch defaults to a 15-minute timeout, and progressing states have very long backend TTLs (downloading is 30 days — see the appstate reference). A foreground --watch can therefore block far longer than an agent should sit idle. Discipline:
- Use a short foreground window, not the 15m default. Pass a small
--watch-timeoutsized to the verb (see references/olares-market-watch.md): ~30s forstop/cancel/resume/uninstall, ~1m for theinstalldeploy phase /upgrade/clone. - Timeout is NOT failure. A
--watchthat times out only means "not terminal yet". Don't report failure — switch to pollingmarket status <app> --watch --watch-interval 5s(or fire-and-forget + periodicmarket status <app>), or hand off to diagnosis. - Judge by STATE transitions, never the PROGRESS number (it is unreliable — appstate reference). A long
downloadingis judged by image-pull progress, not by waiting for terminal. - When a short window expires with no STATE movement, stop waiting and diagnose — route to
../olares-doctor/SKILL.md(app stuck / won't start), which orchestrates the pod/log evidence.
"What apps do I have?" routing
| Question | Right verb | Why |
|---|---|---|
| "Show me my apps" / "我的应用" | market list --mine (alias -m) | Matches the Market UI's "My Terminus" tab exactly — includes in-flight installs, failed rows, transitional states. Wider than "completed installs only" |
"Runtime status of <app>" / "is it installed yet" | market status <app> or market status <app> --watch | Focused view: STATE / OPERATION / PROGRESS / SOURCE. The single-app form does cross-source fallback if -s doesn't find the row |
| "Which apps are running right now" | market status [-a] then filter STATE=running | status returns installed-app rows, not a running-only view. For resource ranking use dashboard applications; for title search across visible installed apps use search app |
| "Browse the catalog" | market list (no --mine) | Hits /market/data, not /market/state. Browse-and-discover, not inventory |
list --mineis NOT the same as "completed installs only". It hides only the 6 SPA-hiddenuninstalledAppStates(pendingCanceled,downloadingCanceled,downloadFailed,installFailed,installingCanceled,uninstalled). In-flight installs and post-install failures stay visible because the user clicked something and expects to monitor / retry / cancel them.
Output conventions
-o table(default) or-o json— present on EVERY market verb.-q / --quietsuppresses all stdout / stderr; exit code carries the signal.--no-headers— onlylistandcategories(row-oriented browse). NOT onget(key:value detail, no headers separable) orstatus(runtime probe, always headered). No-op silently on mutating verbs.- Mutating verbs emit a stable
OperationResultJSON shape withfinalState/finalOpTypefor scripted parsing.
Common errors
| Symptom | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
no apps in source 'X' (stderr) | Unknown source id, or empty result | Run market list -a to enumerate configured sources |
app 'X' is not installed (run 'olares-cli market install X' to install it) | status <app> could not find the row anywhere | Install first, or verify the app name spelling |
App is installed under source 'Y' (not 'X') (stderr) | -s X but the row is actually in source Y | Drop -s, or pass the correct source. The CLI still renders the row |
missing required env var(s): KEY1, KEY2 ... | install for an app that declares required envs | Re-run with --env KEY=VALUE (repeatable) for each missing var |
app 'X' supports multiple compute modes; re-run with --compute-mode <type> ... | 1.12.6+ install (non-interactive) of an app runnable on several accelerators | Re-run with --compute-mode <type> (e.g. nvidia); a TTY would prompt instead |
app 'X' requires a compute binding ... re-run with --compute-binding ... | 1.12.6+ resume (non-interactive) of a GPU app needing a device | Re-run with --compute-binding <node>:<device>[:<mem>] (mem accepts Gi/Mi; repeat the flag once per card for multi-GPU apps) from settings compute list; a TTY would prompt instead (comma-separated for multi-card) |
the supplied --compute-binding (...) was rejected ...: <reason> | 1.12.6+ resume with an explicit binding the backend refused | <reason> mirrors the SPA wording for that validation.code — e.g. aggregate-vram-insufficient (combined VRAM), device-vram-insufficient, node-pressure (lists Memory/CPU/Disk Total/Used/Needed), or a raw structural code like multi-card-not-supported / gpu-type-mismatch. Pick different/more cards per the available list |
--compute-mode/--compute-binding requires Olares 1.12.6+ ... | Flag passed against a 1.12.5 backend | Drop the flag — 1.12.5 uses a different, unchanged code path |
Lifecycle watcher hangs near *Failed state | Backend failed but kept the failure row visible | Inspect market status <app> for the failure detail; cancel with market cancel <app> if applicable |
cannot --watch 'status' (no app argument) | market status without an app + --watch | Use status <app> --watch |
| 401 / 403 from any verb after refresh | Token rotation / consistent server-side rejection | See ../olares-shared/SKILL.md |
--cascade auto-enabled ... (stderr) | 1.12.5: C/S v2 multi-chart app on single-user cluster | Informational — the CLI picked --cascade=true; pass --cascade=false to override (1.12.5 only) |
--cascade force-enabled ... (CS/shared apps always cascade) (stderr) | 1.12.6: target is a CS/shared app (apiVersion v2 / shared) | Informational — on 1.12.6 CS/shared apps are always cascaded; --cascade=false cannot disable it |
'X' has no in-progress operation for this user; nothing to cancel | cancel on 1.12.6 with the per-user row gone and no --source | Nothing to cancel; if you must still cancel a stuck op, pass --source <id> |
