Applications

Welcome to the comprehensive guide for QuickBox Pro applications. This page provides an in-depth overview of the 65+ applications available for seamless installation, empowering you to customize your server setup according to your specific needs.

Whether you are new to QuickBox or a seasoned user, this guide serves as your ultimate reference for exploring the diverse features, streamlining your server operations, and maximizing your productivity.

Installing applications

The recommended way to install and manage applications is the dashboard. Open App Dashboard → Package Management (/dashboard?mode=packages), find the application in the catalog (browse its category or search), and click Install. The dashboard streams the install log live and the app appears in your Application Control panel when it finishes. Reinstall, Update, and Remove are on the same panel.

What you see is gated by your account: admins manage any user’s apps and see the full catalog; regular users manage their own and see the applications their group allows. See App Management for the full walkthrough.

From the CLI (automation)

The qb CLI runs the same install scripts as the dashboard and is suited to automation, scripting, and headless servers:

qb help [application]
qb install [application] -u username
qb reinstall [application] -u username
qb update [application] -u username
qb remove [application] -u username

Worked examples:

# Install Sonarr for user 'myuser'
qb install sonarr -u myuser
 
# Install Plex and qBittorrent
qb install plex -u myuser
qb install qbittorrent -u myuser
 
# Remove qBittorrent for user 'myuser'
qb remove qbittorrent -u myuser
 
# Update Radarr for user 'myuser'
qb update radarr -u myuser
 
# Show Plex's options, requirements, and flags before installing
qb help plex

A few applications (such as rtorrent) are system-wide and do not take -u. For the complete flag reference and per-application options, see the CLI Reference. To list every installable application from the terminal, run qb help software; to see a single application’s options, requirements, and flags, run qb help [application] (for example, qb help plex).
