Application Templates¶

Application templates are reusable bundles of port mappings. If several users need the same set of ports (say, a web app on 80 plus its database on 5432), define the template once and load it when creating or editing users instead of typing the ports each time.

A template is just a name plus a list of clientPort → serverPort mappings — no credentials, no relay state.

Managing Templates¶

# List templates and their mappings
tw server app list

# Create a template (interactive: name, then mappings)
tw server app create

# Edit a template's name and mappings
tw server app edit web-app

# Delete a template
tw server app delete web-app

In the dashboard, templates live under Apps in the nav bar.

Using Templates for Users¶

Templates pre-fill user mappings in the dashboard:

• Creating a user — pick a template from the Load from Application dropdown on the create form; its mappings populate the form and can be adjusted before saving.
• Editing a user — the Add from Application dropdown appends a template's mappings to the ones being edited.

On the CLI, tw server user invite takes mappings via -m or --from <user>; to reuse a template's ports, check them with tw server app list and pass them as -m flags.
