We recommend migrating to the next LTS or upgrading to Ubuntu Pro. Learn more about your options.

IoT App Store

Create, publish and distribute software on the global Snap Store and your private enterprise App Store.

Contact us Read the datasheet

Ideal for secure
software distribution

  • Advanced software management for fleets of devices
  • Secure, validated OTA update mechanisms to handle distribution at scale
  • Infrastructure for secure management and maintenance of specialized applications

Securely manage your IoT fleet

Use your store in a way that suits your business needs. Either open source your software and publish it to the global Snap Store or manage your business and devices with a Dedicated Snap Store to explore a richer featureset.

Onboard new devices

New devices are securely authenticated and added to your fleet. Devices are connected to your Dedicated Snap Store with a secure, built-in signing service.

Reliable over-the-air (OTA) updates

Over-the-air updates are automatic and transactional, so devices rollback to a stable state if a failure occurs. All updates are delivered as deltas to minimize bandwidth consumption and the associated costs.

Detailed account delegation

Set granular permissions for users of your Dedicated Snap Store, allowing varying tiers of access and publisher rights. You can also set permissions at the snap-level, granting collaborator rights to software publishers.

Usage analytics

Track the use of your devices over a dashboard. The Dedicated Snap Store uses the APIs provided by Ubuntu Core to extract usage metrics and present them through a user-friendly interface.

Check out the
dedicated Snap Store

The Dedicated Snap Store has a range of features on it’s dashboard, including:

  • Snap inclusion and exclusion
  • Account delegation and role management
  • Software release management
  • Detailed snap metrics

What our customers say

“The IoT App Store gives us the prebuilt infrastructure to seamlessly deliver OTA updates to our entire fleet.”

Viktor Petersson
CEO
Screenly

“Large-scale commercial IoT deployments are not one size fits all. They require infrastructure that is open, scalable, and secure, with software that can evolve to meet the changing needs of the customer. Ubuntu Core brings a powerful and open architecture to IoT gateways, ensuring they’re an enabler of business success for customers, now and in the future.”

Ben Corrado
Co-founder
Rigado

“Building our product with snaps lets us guarantee that all updates are automatic and entirely transactional – not only for our own software, but also for the kernel and OS. What’s more, snaps work on virtually all Linux operating systems, so we’ve been able to release our open source Domotz Pro software as a public snap that users can install on their own hardware.”

Giancarlo Fanelli
CTO
Domotz

On premise and air gapped

The Snap Store Proxy is an add-on to the Dedicated Snap Store, offering additional functionality for your use case. Using the Proxy, you can pin a specific version of software on your devices or use your Dedicated Snap Store in environments with complex networking requirements.

For an on-premise experience, if you are operating devices that are completely isolated from the internet, we also offer air gapped mode.

Maximize bandwidth and speed by caching downloads and snap traffic.
