Fields

App details

ID

Unique id for your app. It is unique within organization. ID must start with a letter, and only has digits, letters and “_”, “-”.

Display Name

Human friendly display name of the app.

Description

Description of the app

App Type

Currently apps are divided into 5 types:

• jupyter (enabled)
• rshiny
• rstudio

Reason for this field is that for some apps, especially jupyter apps, our backend need to add some run options for it to run properly and we don’t want to expose everything to the user.

Also it will be used to determine the app access.

Container details

Container

Name and tag of the container you want to use. In the format of org/container:tag Default tag is latest. Currently we only support pulling pulling public containers from docker hub.

Port

The port of your app

Mount Point

App access and visibility

Currently we have two types of app, one is “exploration”, like Rstudio, JupyterLab. They have “rw” access. The other is “visualization”, like rshiny apps, they have “ro” access.

By default, byo apps can only be used within the organization unless its visibility is set to “PUBLIC”.

Who can manage/use BYO Form Bench apps

Manage

Organization owner and admins can create, update, delete apps.

Launch

By default, all projects in the organization will be able to access the organization byo apps and all public apps. But different project roles have different access.

Table below shows which role can launch which app.

GPU support

Currently support Nvidia T4, L4 and P100. When you enable GPU, 1 GPU will be used.
