DocumentationRancher Applications
We provide a catalog of ready‑to‑run applications that can be accessed through a web browser.
All of them are available from the Rancher UI – just fill in the deployment form with the options that matter for the selected app (resource selection, PVC, credentials, exposure mode, etc.).
Getting to the Application Catalog
- Do not select a namespace – you should see Only User Namespaces (1) at the top of the Rancher page.
- Navigate through Apps (2) → Charts (3).
- Filter charts to cerit‑sc (4).
- Pick any app, e.g. code‑server (5).
Below is the current list of applications with a short description for each. The subsequent pages of this documentation go into detail for the more complex setups.
If an application you need isn’t listed in next documentation sections, its deployment is usually straightforward – you’ll only have to provide credentials or make a simple selection. When you install any application, wait till the application is in the green Deployed state and then access the application on its address (usually listed in the bottom part of the page in deployment log) or elsewhere.
