Installation

Vieter consists of a single binary, akin to busybox. The binary's behavior is determined by its CLI arguments, e.g. vieter server starts the repository server.

All installation solutions can be configured the same way, as described here.

Docker

Docker images are published to the chewingbever/vieter Docker Hub repository. You can either pull a release tag (e.g. chewingbever/vieter:0.1.0-rc1), or pull the chewingbever/vieter:dev tag. The latter is updated every time a new commit is pushed to the development branch. This branch will be the most up to date, but does not give any guarantees about stability, so beware!

Due to the single-binary design of Vieter, this image can be used both for the repository server & the cron daemon.

Below is an example compose file to set up both the repository server & the cron daemon:

version: '3'

services:
  server:
    image: 'chewingbever/vieter:dev'
    restart: 'always'

    environment:
      - 'VIETER_API_KEY=secret'
      - 'VIETER_DEFAULT_ARCH=x86_64'
    volumes:
      - 'data:/data'

  cron:
    image: 'chewingbever/vieter:dev'
    restart: 'always'
    user: root
    command: 'vieter cron'

    environment:
      - 'VIETER_API_KEY=secret'
      # MUST be public URL of Vieter repository
      - 'VIETER_ADDRESS=https://example.com'
      - 'VIETER_DEFAULT_ARCH=x86_64'
      - 'VIETER_MAX_CONCURRENT_BUILDS=2'
      - 'VIETER_GLOBAL_SCHEDULE=0 3'

Binary

On the releases page, you can find statically compiled binaries for all released versions. This is the same binary as used inside the Docker images.

Arch

I publish both development & release versions of Vieter to my personal repository, https://arch.r8r.be. Packages are available for x86_64 & aarch64. To use the repository, add the following to your pacman.conf:

[vieter]
Server = https://arch.r8r.be/$repo/$arch
SigLevel = Optional

Afterwards, you can update your system & install the vieter package for the latest official release or vieter-git for the latest development release.
