Public to Repos for Debian, Ubuntu and FreeBSD

[zandercodes]

Hello, I have a question for the Pangolin team @oschwartz10612. Would it be okay with you if I helped you promote "Newt" etc. on Debian, Ubuntu, and FreeBSD (for firewalls like pfSense and OpnSense)?
I would be happy to do this for you. I would like to support the project from the community's perspective. I would do all of this on a voluntary basis.

Hi! This has been requested a bunch and I would love some help with this! I know nothing about the process. My big concern is that the package managers update so slowly and newt is still moving so quickly that it could easily get a bunch of versions behind. Is there a good solve for this? Maybe we would need to provide our own apt source for example in the way that docker would do? Like this: echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian $(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null What do you think?

Yes, something like that, for example, so it can update directly.

Okay that would be good. How would we go about doing this? Maybe you could do a PR with a github action that will package up the .deb etc files? Once we have those I can worry about generating the keys and hosting it somewhere at a nice url for people to pull down.

I'd be happy to do that for Newt and Orm.
As a mirror in Europe, I can provide storage space and support the project.
I would then set up an S3 bucket on my server where the data can be stored.

You could then connect your domain to my server IP or use my domain zcws.de.

I will try to make the repo available for Debian/Ubuntu, FreeBSD, and Windows with WinGet.

I will then create a PR once I have tested everything and send you the access data if you want an S3.
