Using this repo as a template

Important

If you want to create your own repo and use this repo as a base, make sure to remove/customize all assets like images, links and names!

You need a few secrets that are used for verifying the repo.

To generate these, you have to run the fdroid-repo-generator-Docker image offline.

0. Ensure that you have Docker installed
1. Check out the repo and open it in your terminal
2. Select the directory fdroid-repo-generator using cd fdroid-repo-generator
3. Build the image offline: docker build --tag fdroid-repo-generator . (the dot at the end is important)
4. Launch the container docker run --rm -it --entrypoint=/bin/bash -v %cd%/temp-repo:/repo -w /repo fdroid-repo-generator
   • This will create a new directory temp-repo, if this is already present you may need to clean it
   • After the container is launched, a console should be visible
5. Execute fdroid init to initialize the repo
6. When this is done exit the container with typing exit

You now should have a fresh F-Droid repo initialized in temp-repo.

The next step is to get the following secrets and store them in GitHub Action secrets:

What?	Secret name	Notes
keystore.p12	KEYSTORE_BASE64	Needs to be converted to base64. Easiest way: cat keystore.p12 | base64 > keystore_b64.txt
config.yml→repo_keyalias	REPO_KEYALIAS
config.yml→keystorepass or keypass (identical)	KEYPASS	keystorepass and keypass are usually identical
config.yml→keydname	KEYDNAME

Updating

Updates are checked for every night using GitHub Actions. If an update is found, the repo is rebuilt.
