Debian Packaging

There are two ways to package the GitHub stats updater for Debian—manually or with help of Docker.

If you are familiar with Linux distributions and package managers, you might prefer to manually build the deb package. If you’re on a different platform, Docker might be more convenient.

Manual Packaging

If you want to locally build the Debian package, you’ll need the following dependencies: dh_make, dpkg-buildpackage, fakeroot, and python2. These packages might be named different depending on your platform.

After installing the dependencies, run

make

and the deb package will be created in the package directory.

Packaging with Docker

First, you’ll need to install docker and start the Docker service. Note that you have to be either the root user or in the docker group in order to execute Docker commands.

Then, create the deb package:

./docker-deb.sh

This script will create a Debian image called hubble-enterprise-debian-packager with all the required dependencies. Then it will run the Debian packaging tools inside the Docker container. The result will be the deb package in the package directory.
