Introducing Minaki.io: Effortless APT Repositories for Developers

If you’ve ever tried to host an APT repository for your .deb packages, you’ve likely run into a wall of complexity:

• GPG keys
• Metadata files
• Signed indexes
• Directory structures
• Hosting it all securely over HTTPS

And all you really wanted was to let someone run:

sudo apt install your-cool-tool

So we built exactly that.

What Is Minaki.io?

Minaki.io is a cloud-based APT repository platform built for developers who want to ship .deb packages without the infrastructure overhead.

With Minaki.io, you can:

• Upload your .deb file
• Let us handle signing, indexing, and hosting
• Share a secure APT endpoint with your users

It’s instant, secure, and production-ready — no config required.

How It Works

1. Log in to Minaki.io
2. Upload your .deb file via the dashboard
3. We:
   • Validate and index it
   • GPG-sign your package
   • Generate a complete APT repo
   • Host everything securely
4. You get a working sources.list entry for your users:

echo “deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/minaki-archive-keyring.gpg] https://repo.minaki.io/yourname stable main” | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yourtool.list sudo apt update sudo apt install yourtool

Free to Start

We believe every developer should be able to ship a .deb easily.

• Upload one package for free
• Upgrade to premium for unlimited uploads, advanced formats, and automation

No credit card required to start.

What’s Coming Next

We are actively expanding the platform. Upcoming features include:

• Support for .rpm, .tar.gz, .AppImage
• A CLI tool for automated publishing from CI/CD pipelines
• Private repositories and token-based access control
• Download analytics and metrics
• Stripe integration for paid packages

Why We Built It

We’ve been in your shoes. Sharing internal tools or open-source projects shouldn't require:

• Managing custom GPG keys
• Writing and debugging scripts to build packages
• Deploying and configuring web servers
• Debugging broken "apt update" errors

Minaki.io exists to eliminate that friction and let you focus on building tools, not infrastructure.
