Users do not need to register to download public images. However they will need an App Developer account to post their Virtual Appliances. Users can get this account through the AppMarket GUI. This account is not enabled by default and it requires admin approval.

• Click on “Request Developer Access”

• Fill the form with the user information

You can also use the appmarket-user command to create a new user: <xterm> $ appmarket-user create user.json </xterm>

An Admin user can manage the users of the Appmarket through the CLI, clicking the following link in the main page:

From this view the Admin will be able to see all the existing users and enable/disble/update them as required, clicking in the more info button:

User accounts are not enabled by default and must be enabled from this page:

You can also use the appmarket-user command to list and enable users: <xterm> $ appmarket-user list $ appmarket-user enable 939393029039 </xterm>

After the user's developer account has been aproved, he will be able to include new appliances in the AppMarket by clicking the 'Create appliance' link:

A new dialog will prompt with the required fields to create a new appliance. Note that the AppMarket contains metadata that defines the Virtual Appliance but not the appliance files themselves. The metadata includes the links to download the appliance files from third-party servers.

You can also use the appmarket command to create a new appliance: <xterm> $ appmarket create appliance.json </xterm>

After sending the new appliance request, it will automatically included in the appliance list and all the users will be able to use it:

Appliances can be edited or deleted by the owner or an Admin user after creation, in the appliance view.

You can also use the appmarket command to list the existing appliances: <xterm> $ appmarket list </xterm>

You can also use the appmarket command to update or delete an appliance: <xterm> $ appmarket update 39393939393 $ appmarket delete 39148302483 </xterm>

You can import appliances from the AppMarket to OpenNebula through Sunstone or using the command cli onemarket provided with OpenNebula.

Sunstone includes a new tab that allows OpenNebula users to interact with the AppMarket:

If you want to import a new appliance into your local infrastructure, you just have to select an image and click theimport button. A new dialog box will prompt you to create a new image.

After that you will be able to use that image in a template in order to create a new instance.

You can also use the CLI to interact with the AppMarket:
