Debian Repository Creator

This Python program helps to create your own Debian package repository and serve it on authenticated HTTP server.

Features

  • Watching pool directories & automatic package registry update.
  • Running as Linux service.
  • Basic HTTP authentication with username and password.
  • Connection guide creation.
  • Backing up repository periodically.

Creating & Serving Debian Repository

  • Install dependencies

    apt install dpkg-dev -y
pip install pyinotify pyasyncore

  • Create a configuration file config.json in project directory. Architectures and distributions can be changed.

    {
  "architectures": ["amd64", "armhf", "arm64"],
  "dists": {
    "focal": {
      "components": ["stable", "test"]
    },
    "jammy": {
      "components": ["stable"]
    },
    "noble": {
      "components": ["stable", "test"]
    }
  },
  "backup": {
    "enable": true,
    "format": "zip",
    "interval": 24,
    "copies": 5 
  },
  "short_name": "repo_name",
  "description": "Your repository description",
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "name": "Your Name",
  "port": 8645,
  "auth": "basic",
  "users": {
    "username1": "password1",
    "username2": "password2"
  }
}

    Available options:

    • auth: basic, none
    • backup:
      • enable: Enables/disables backup feature. It is false by default.
      • format: Backup format. Can be "zip", "tar" or "both".
      • interval: Backup interval in hours.
      • copies: Keeps last copies in backup folder. Removes older ones.

  • Run repository script by specifying configuration file.

    ./debianrepo.py -c config.json

  • Add your debian packages into pool folders based on architecture and distro.
