deb-s3

This repository is no longer maintained. I am no longer actively maintaining deb-s3. I haven't been using it to maintain any repositories since ~2016. Someone had expressed interest in taking over development, but they appear to be inactive with it as well.

deb-s3 is a simple utility to make creating and managing APT repositories on S3.

Most existing guides on using S3 to host an APT repository have you using something like reprepro to generate the repository file structure, and then s3cmd to sync the files to S3.

The annoying thing about this process is it requires you to maintain a local copy of the file tree for regenerating and syncing the next time. Personally, my process is to use one-off virtual machines with Vagrant, script out the build process, and then would prefer to just upload the final .deb from my Mac.

With deb-s3, there is no need for this. deb-s3 features:

• Downloads the existing package manifest and parses it.
• Updates it with the new package, replacing the existing entry if already there or adding a new one if not.
• Uploads the package itself, the Packages manifest, and the Packages.gz manifest. It will skip the uploading if the package is already there.
• Updates the Release file with the new hashes and file sizes.

Getting Started

You can simply install it from rubygems:

$ gem install deb-s3

Or to run the code directly, just check out the repo and run Bundler to ensure all dependencies are installed:

$ git clone https://github.com/krobertson/deb-s3.git
$ cd deb-s3
$ bundle install

Now to upload a package, simply use:

$ deb-s3 upload --bucket my-bucket my-deb-package-1.0.0_amd64.deb
>> Examining package file my-deb-package-1.0.0_amd64.deb
>> Retrieving existing package manifest
>> Uploading package and new manifests to S3
   -- Transferring pool/m/my/my-deb-package-1.0.0_amd64.deb
   -- Transferring dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages
   -- Transferring dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz
   -- Transferring dists/stable/Release
>> Update complete.

Uploads the given files to a S3 bucket as an APT repository.

You can also delete packages from the APT repository. Please keep in mind that this does NOT delete the .deb file itself, it only removes it from the list of packages in the specified component, codename and architecture.

Now to delete the package:

$ deb-s3 delete my-deb-package --arch amd64 --bucket my-bucket --versions 1.0.0
>> Retrieving existing manifests
   -- Deleting my-deb-package version 1.0.0

Remove the package named PACKAGE. If --versions is not specified, deleteall versions of PACKAGE. Otherwise, only the specified versions will be deleted.

You can also verify an existing APT repository on S3 using the verify command:

deb-s3 verify -b my-bucket
