Marketplace

Welcome to the 6G-SANDBOX Marketplace​

The 6G-SANDBOX Marketplace is a shared catalog of reusable appliances (prebuilt virtual machine images) that can be used to compose and deploy Trial Networks (TNs) across the 6G-SANDBOX infrastructure.

These appliances act as ready-to-use building blocks for common services and components, such as TNLCM, VPN bastions, databases, 5G cores, and more.

What is an appliance?​

An appliance is a preconfigured virtual machine image that encapsulates a software service, runtime environment, or utility.

For example:

  • A VPN gateway with WireGuard and DNS
  • A container runtime host
  • A 5G core stack (e.g., Open5GCore)
  • A monitoring or logging server

These appliances are portable and reproducible, and can be deployed as components inside a Trial Network via the 6G Library and TNLCM.

Why use the Marketplace?​

Using Marketplace appliances ensures:

  • Consistency across sites and deployments
  • Reusability of complex environments
  • Automation of provisioning and configuration
  • Traceability via versioned metadata

They make the process of deploying TNs faster, safer, and easier to maintain.
