TEI apt repo

This is a simple ANT build file for creating and updating the TEI Debian packages repository. Documentation about the TEI Debian packages can be found on the TEI Wiki.

This GitHub repository is only for the administrative task of maintaining the TEI APT repository!

Dependencies

  • Apache ANT with Saxon (for XSLT2) in its classpath
  • GnuPG2 for signing the repository
  • dpkg-scanpackages for inspecting the deb packages

How it works

Simply clone this repository to the server directory where you want the APT repository to be created and run ant. The script will

  • download the latest (stable) deb packages from the TEI Jenkins server
  • create the repository files Packages and Release
  • sign the Release file with the default key from the default keyring found under ~/.gnupg/
  • create an index.html from the template index.tmpl with a current list of available packages

Docker

Running

A ready-made Docker image based on nginx:alpine with the current TEI release is available from DockerHub.

docker run --rm -p 9090:80 --name tei-apt-repo teic/tei-apt-repo

NB: the Debian repo is provided in a subfolder deb so you'll need to point your browser at http://localhost:9090/deb/.

Building

A multi stage Dockerfile is provided for creating the above image that will a) build the artifacts and create the apt repository, and b) run a nginx webserver for publishing the apt repo.

The tricky bit in building the image is providing the GPG key and passphrase because we do not want these to end up in the public image. Therefore they are injected through HTTP and only visible in the build stage (of the multi stage dockerfile). So, for building the image you'll need

  • a private GPG key (with a passphrase)
  • make these accessible via HTTP (e.g. by running a nginx webserver via Docker)
  • pass these to the Docker build command as GPG_PASS_URL and GPG_KEY_URL via --build-arg, e.g.
docker build -t tei-apt-repo --build-arg GPG_PASS_URL=http://localhost:9090/secret.pass  --build-arg GPG_KEY_URL=http://localhost:9090/secret.key  .
