The DPlatform's Package Manager

• easy install, modification and backup of the applications
• support a wide range of systems (UN*Xes, x86, ARM) - distribution agnostic
• can use systemd or OpenRC for system services
• independent of your system's package manager

For now only the x86-64 architecture is available. An issue is open to support armhf and arm64.

Hopefully there are recent progress on both architectures, DPPM will be available on soon! The arm64 support is now merged.

Download dppm with the helper:

sh -c "APP=dppm-static $(wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DFabric/apps-static/master/helper.sh)"

The binary is bin/dppm on the directory. Place it wherever you want (e.g. /usr/local/bin)

wget -qO- can be replaced by curl -s

Get the pre-compiled binary called dppm-static_*, and extract it.

To show the help:

dppm --help

To list available packages (applications and libraries):

dppm list

A typical installation can be:

# `opt` directory with the `myapp` owner
dppm add [application] prefix=/opt owner=myapp     # add a new application to the system
dppm service [application] run true                # start the service
dppm service [application] boot true               # auto start the service at boot

The user and group used by the application here is myapp. Read more about security recommendations

Note that add will build the missing required packages.

Root execution is needed to add a system service (systemd or OpenRC)

Intall dependencies:

shards install

Build a dppm executable:

crystal build src/dppm.cr -o dppm

Run it

./dppm --help
