Find another way of hosting DEB/RPM repos instead of JFrog

[variar]

JFrog announced closing of their free tier. They do have progamm to support open source projects, but it is impossible to use because of some export regulations

Looks like klogg has to move to Ubuntu PPA / OpenSuse OBS.

:-( While the Ubunutu/OpenSuse repos may work out best, possibly another consideration is the Maven Central Repository, publish via the OSSRH: https://central.sonatype.org/ https://central.sonatype.org/publish/ It's heavily Java focused but the repo supports *many* artifact types https://help.sonatype.com/repomanager3/nexus-repository-administration/formats The automated uploads focus on using Maven, Gradle, and SBT; you could make a simple upload build with one of those (e.g. a Maven POM that finalizes and uploads the artifacts). Otherwise, can manually upload. https://www.sonatype.com/products/integrations

Thanks! That could be an option for APT packages.

Relevant thread on Reddit had these suggestions, and this is the info I found about the hosted ones that offer both DEB and RPM:

• The OBS public instance seems to be free.
• Coderberg.org is a free, non-profit forge . It uses Forgejo, which "includes all of Gitea". Gitea 1.20-dev has DEB and RPM registries, but the current stable 1.19.3 doesn't.
• Gemfury – not sure what's available for free but prices seem reasonable.

I've also come across Packagecloud, which has a free plan with 2GB storage and 10GB bandwidth.

I've not used any of these, so don't know enough to recommend any.

Thank you! Gitea option is interesting. It should be easy to self-host.

Turns out that github pages can be used to host rpm/deb repositories. Could someone try if that works?

For DEB (replace <ubuntu_release> with one of bionic, focal, jammy):

curl -sS https://klogg.filimonov.dev/klogg.gpg.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/klogg.gpg
echo deb [signed-by=etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/klogg.gpg] https://klogg.filimonov.dev/deb/<ubuntu_release> <ubuntu_release> utils | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list

For RPM (replace <oracle_release> with one of 7, 8):

/etc/yum.repos.d/klogg-rpm.repo
[Klogg]
name=Klogg
baseurl=https://klogg.filimonov.dev/rpm/oracle/<oracle_release>/amd64
gpgkey=https://klogg.filimonov.dev/klogg.gpg.key
enabled=1

[akwala]

For DEB (replace <ubuntu_release> with one of bionic, focal, jammy):

curl -sS https://klogg.filimonov.dev/klogg.gpg.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/klogg.gpg
echo deb [signed-by=etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/klogg.gpg] https://klogg.filimonov.dev/deb/<ubuntu_release> <ubuntu_release> utils | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list

There needs to be a leading slash in the signed-by value: signed-by=/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/klogg.gpg.

However, that location "is completely and unconditionally trusted by apt." I put the key in /usr/share/keyrings which already had other keys – the post suggests /usr/local/share/keyrings. And I replaced /etc/apt/sources.list.d/klogg.list, instead of appending to /etc/apt/sources.list.

The following worked for me:

curl -sS https://klogg.filimonov.dev/klogg.gpg.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/klogg.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/klogg.gpg] https://klogg.filimonov.dev/deb/jammy jammy utils" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/klogg.list

For other supported Ubuntu releases, substitute "jammy" with the appropriate release name.

using KDE neon... I did as recommended by akwala, then,

sudo mousepad /etc/apt/sources.list

and removed this line:

deb [trusted=yes] https://favpackage.jfrog.io/artifactory/klogg_deb/ jammy utils

it is working, I guess...

apt search klogg

# result

Thank you! I've updated installation guide in README.
