It should be possible to install new apps via the CLI.

I am creating a custom Raspberry Pi OS distro with runtipi and some apps preinstalled. The app installation would happen in a one-shot systemd service that is run during the first boot. However, at the moment the CLI does not support app installation, making this approach non-trivial, at the very least.

Thanks for the issue, this is a bit more tricky since you need to send a json payload when installing an app. For the basic info this is fine but some apps require more and you wouldn't know beforehand what required params you have to send

How would you imagine the CLI command signature?

runtipi-cli app install nginx:migrated --payload '{ "port": 8000 }'

nginx:migrated being nginx app in the migrated app store? Probably migrated:nginx would be more logical, unless the former is already used internally. Other than that, the suggested command line would be brilliant.

I don't really need that for my use case, but maybe have a separate subcommand for querying the params? You probably already do that for the web frontend? Something like runtipi-cli app get-params migrated:nginx.
