Managing Apps on WendyOS Devices
The Wendy CLI can help you manage apps on your WendyOS device. This works over USB connections and over your Local Area Network (LAN).
Prerequisites
- Wendy CLI installed on your development machine
- A WendyOS device (NVIDIA Jetson or Raspberry Pi 5) either:
- Connected via USB cable, or
- Connected to the same network as your development machine
Listing Apps
To discover all available WendyOS devices, run:
wendy device apps listAn example output is:
wendy device apps list
✔︎ Searching for WendyOS devices [5.1s]
✔︎ Listing applications: True Probe [USB, Ethernet, LAN]
╭───────────────┬─────────┬─────────┬──────────╮
│ App │ Version │ State │ Failures │
├───────────────┼─────────┼─────────┼──────────┤
│ hello-world │ 0.0.1 │ Stopped │ 0 │
│ simple-server │ 0.0.0 │ Running │ 0 │
╰───────────────┴─────────┴─────────┴──────────╯Stoppedmeans that the app is on the WendyOS device, but not running. This is common where the app runs once and exits. This doesn't necessarily mean that the state of the app is bad, especially if theFailurescolumn is 0. Commonly long running applications like web servers will not be in this state.Runningmeans that the app is running on the WendyOS device.Failuresmeans that the app has failed to start. This is common if the app is not properly configured.
Stopping an App
To stop an app, run:
wendy device apps stop <app-name>An example output is:
