Debian Package Registry

Publish Debian packages for your user or organization.

Requirements

To work with the Debian registry, you need to use a HTTP client like curl to upload and a package manager like apt to consume packages.

The following examples use apt.

Configuring the package registry

To register the Debian registry add the url to the list of known apt sources:

echo "deb https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/debian {distribution} {component}" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gitea.list

Placeholder	Description
`owner`	The owner of the package.
`distribution`	The distribution to use.
`component`	The component to use.

If the registry is private, provide credentials in the url. You can use a password or a personal access token:

echo "deb https://{username}:{your_password_or_token}@gitea.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/debian {distribution} {component}" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gitea.list

The Debian registry files are signed with a PGP key which must be known to apt:

sudo curl https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/debian/repository.key -o /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/gitea-{owner}.asc

Afterwards update the local package index:

apt update

Publish a package

To publish a Debian package (*.deb), perform a HTTP PUT operation with the package content in the request body.

PUT https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/debian/pool/{distribution}/{component}/upload

Parameter	Description
`owner`	The owner of the package.
`distribution`	The distribution may match the release name of the OS, ex: `bionic`.
`component`	The component can be used to group packages or just `main` or similar.

Example request using HTTP Basic authentication:

curl --user your_username:your_password_or_token \
     --upload-file path/to/file.deb \
     https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/testuser/debian/pool/bionic/main/upload

If you are using 2FA or OAuth use a personal access token instead of the password. You cannot publish a file with the same name twice to a package. You must delete the existing package version first.

The server responds with the following HTTP Status codes.

HTTP Status Code	Meaning
`201 Created`	The package has been published.
`400 Bad Request`	The package name, version, distribution, component or architecture are invalid.
`409 Conflict`	A package file with the same combination of parameters exists already.

Delete a package

To delete a Debian package perform a HTTP DELETE operation. This will delete the package version too if there is no file left.

DELETE https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/debian/pool/{distribution}/{component}/{package_name}/{package_version}/{architecture}

Parameter	Description
`owner`	The owner of the package.
`package_name`	The package name.
`package_version`	The package version.
`distribution`	The package distribution.
`component`	The package component.
`architecture`	The package architecture.
