nFPM is a simple, zero-dependency packager written in Go that creates deb, rpm, apk, ipk, arch linux, and msix packages from a single YAML configuration file. It works both as a standalone CLI binary and as a Go library, serving as a simpler alternative to fpm.
Use cases
- build deb packages without ruby
- create rpm packages from a yaml config
- package a Go binary for multiple linux distros
- generate apk and arch linux packages in CI
- replace fpm with a zero-dependency packager
- integrate linux packaging into a Go release pipeline
- build msix packages for windows
When to avoid
- you need fpm's full breadth of package formats or advanced features
- you need to convert between existing package formats
- you require debconf or other distro-specific advanced packaging features
