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 aarch64.

Get the helper:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DFabric/apps-static/master/helper.sh -O /tmp/helper.sh

or curl -SL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DFabric/apps-static/master/helper.sh -o /tmp/helper.sh

Download dppm:

sh /tmp/helper.sh dppm-static

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

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:

dppm install [application] prefix=/opt owner=myapp # install a new application in /opt as `myapp`
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 install will build the package, and then add it to the system.

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
