Getting Started

Packager.io is a service that automatically packages your application as a DEB or RPM package, for a number of target distributions.

Currently, you can package applications written in Ruby, NodeJS, or Go.

The process is as follows:

  • register with your GitHub account.
  • enable one of your applications that you want to package.
  • every time you push new code to your GitHub repository, a build is launched on our servers. You can also manually launch a build from the user interface.
  • during the build process, your code is fetched, and runs through a list of buildpacks, which take care of fetching all the dependencies required by your application, and then a DEB or RPM package is generated, and hosted in your own APT or YUM repository.
  • you can now log-in on your servers, and install your application with a simple apt-get install or yum install.
