The Hoody Run service is a multi-source application resolver that turns a query for an application into an exact, ready-to-execute shell command. It coordinates multiple sources, profiles, and recipes so that any caller — the terminal, an automation, or an AI agent — can look up an app, choose the right version, and run it on a target container without manual guesswork.

Use this section of the reference when you need to:

  • Search across all configured sources for an application by name, alias, or binary.
  • Resolve a match into a concrete runnable command (binary, arguments, environment, working directory).
  • Manage the underlying entities that make resolution possible: sources, profiles, recipes, and jobs.

Applications

Search for applications across every registered source and resolve a match into an exact shell command ready for execution on a container.

Sources

Register and manage the upstream sources (registries, package indexes, local indexes) that the resolver queries when looking up an application.

Profiles

Define reusable run profiles that bundle a default container, environment, and policy used when resolving and executing applications.

Recipes

Compose multi-step recipes that chain several resolved applications together into a single executable workflow.

Jobs

Track the lifecycle of resolution and execution jobs — queued, running, succeeded, or failed — and inspect their outputs.
