We're excited to announce Debian S3 Repository, a utility to manage Debian repositories on S3 and S3-compatible storages. It supports signing through the use of gpg.
An easy way to run a Debian repository
Granted, using S3 is not the most common way to run a Debian repository, but it might be the easiest choice in your organisation -- an S3 or S3-compatible file store does not require much maintenance, there is no operating system to maintain. The security model might be a bit complicated, we can largely blame AWS for that, but otherwise handling an S3 bucket is very simple. On the Linux side, you do need to install the apt-transport-s3 package.
Privacy and security Considerations
We've thought carefully about privacy and security:
- No Telemetry - We don't collect usage data, analytics, or crash reports. The app does not phone home.
- Open Source - Github repo link will come.
