hsychla / kellner Goto Github PK

kellner scans a given directory for software packages and creates an index. It then acts as an adhoc httpd which serves the packages to opkg or other package managers.

$> keller -root dir_full_of_packages/

-bind=":8080":   address to bind to
-dump=false:     just dump the package list and exit
-md5=true:       calculate md5 of scanned packages
-root="":        directory containing the packages
-sha1=true:      calculate sha1 of scanned packages
-version=false:  show version number
-workers=4:      number of workers

Since kellner is written in go, you need a go compiler. Consult your OS how to get one or go to http://golang.org/dl.

Once you have a working go compiler:

$> cd kellner
$> export GOPATH=`pwd`:`pwd`/vendor
$> go build -v

You should now have the kellner binary in your working directory.

Right now kellner:

• supports only .ipk packages

'Kellner' is the german term for 'waiter'. As such, a 'Kellner' serves / delivers things listed on a menu. kellner delivers packages, based upon a created index (the menu).
