=====
Aptly is a swiss army knife for Debian repository management.

:target: http://www.aptly.info/
Documentation is available at `http://www.aptly.info/ <http://www.aptly.info/>`_. For support please use
open `issues <https://github.com/aptly-dev/aptly/issues>`_ or `discussions <https://github.com/aptly-dev/aptly/discussions>`_.
Aptly features:
* make mirrors of remote Debian/Ubuntu repositories, limiting by components/architectures
* take snapshots of mirrors at any point in time, fixing state of repository at some moment of time
* publish snapshot as Debian repository, ready to be consumed by apt
* controlled update of one or more packages in snapshot from upstream mirror, tracking dependencies
* merge two or more snapshots into one
* filter repository by search query, pulling dependencies when required
* publish self-made packages as Debian repositories
* REST API for remote access
Any contributions are welcome! Please see `CONTRIBUTING.md <CONTRIBUTING.md>`_.
Installation
=============
Aptly can be installed on several operating systems.
Debian / Ubuntu
----------------
Aptly is provided in the following debian packages:
* **aptly**: Includes the main Aptly binary, man pages, and shell completions
* **aptly-api**: A systemd service for the REST API, using the global /etc/aptly.conf
* **aptly-dbg**: Debug symbols for troubleshooting
The packages can be installed on official `Debian <https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=aptly>`_ and `Ubuntu <https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=aptly>`_ distributions.
Upstream Debian Packages
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If a newer version (not available in Debian/Ubuntu) of aptly is required, upstream debian packages (built from git tags) can be installed as follows:
Install the following APT key (as root)::
wget -O /etc/apt/keyrings/aptly.asc https://www.aptly.info/pubkey.txt
Define Release APT sources in ``/etc/apt/sources.list.d/aptly.list``::
deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/aptly.asc] http://repo.aptly.info/release DIST main
Where DIST is one of: ``bullseye``, ``bookworm``, ``trixie``, ``focal``, ``jammy``, ``noble``
Install aptly packages::
apt-get update
apt-get install aptly
apt-get install aptly-api # REST API systemd service
CI Builds
~~~~~~~~~~
For testing new features or bugfixes, recent builds are available as CI builds (built from master, may be unstable!) and can be installed as follows:
Define CI APT sources in ``/etc/apt/sources.list.d/aptly-ci.list``::
deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/aptly.asc] http://repo.aptly.info/ci DIST main
Where DIST is one of: ``bullseye``, ``bookworm``, ``trixie``, ``focal``, ``jammy``, ``noble``
Note: same gpg key is used as for the Upstream Debian Packages.
