Built for Private Debian Packages.

Install .deb packages with apt-get — no custom tooling, no infrastructure to run.

01

Fully APT-Compatible

A standards-compliant private APT repository that works with apt, apt-get, and dpkg on Ubuntu, Debian, and any other Debian-based distribution. Add a single sources.list entry and install packages as normal.

02

GPG-Signed Packages

Every package served by RepoForge is signed with a GPG key. Download the public key once, add it to /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/, and Ubuntu will verify package integrity on every install automatically.

03

Upload via REST API

Publish .deb files with a single HTTP POST request — no custom CLI tools required. Upload from a script, a CI/CD pipeline, or any language with an HTTP client. Create access tokens with write-only permissions for your build systems.

04

Docker Integration

Install private Debian packages directly inside Dockerfiles using standard apt-get commands. Pass your RepoForge credentials as build args or Docker secrets and keep your packages private without embedding credentials in images.

05

CI/CD Native

Publish new package versions from GitHub Actions or GitLab CI/CD on every tagged release. Store your access token as a repository secret and run a single curl command to upload your .deb file automatically.

06

Access Control

Packages are private by default — only authenticated users and tokens can install them. Create read-only tokens for servers and deployment pipelines, and write tokens for build systems. Revoke access instantly without changing package URLs.
