"Easy to use yum/deb repository manager"

4/5

What do you like best about packagecloud?

Simple to use interface and command-line tool that allows for us to quickly deploy our installation packages for all flavors of Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS, and Raspbian for our clients. We used the command-line tool and integrated it into our CI server to quickly deploy these packages. They also include scripts that allow our users to install the repository to access our packages easily. Adding a new distro or version is as simple as updating our CI to deploy that new version, and it is immediately available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about packagecloud?

The only dislike is that one package can support multiple versions of a distro, and this is not something you can do with Packagecloud. Having Packagecloud handle this requires us to push several copies of the package to our repository. We handle this in our CI server, but it would be nicer to "deploy" with a single upload to multiple repositories at once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is packagecloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

Using Packagecloud has allowed us to move away from having users download and manually install our binaries into their server to access our software. Several things could go wrong when you have users doing something, but being able to have our package install like any other Linux package has made it easier for our clients to install the software. This has taken a lot of support work off us and has let us focus our efforts elsewhere, as we do not need to maintain our own repository server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Repository management made easy"

5/5

What do you like best about packagecloud?

Packagecloud allowed us to create an APT easily repository in a matter of minutes. Besides this, integrating with popular CI services like Travis CI allows us to continuously push updates to our users. I also welcome its web interface as it makes it really useful to manage a repository even when I'm not on my computer.

Packagecloud offers usage statistics, and we can create as many repositories as we need. Their documentation was easy to follow and made moving to the service a breeze. The repositories are also signed with a GPG key. The API is pretty straightforward to use with Travis CI.

Lastly, Packagecloud supports OSS projects, like ours, making it a no-brainer to start using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about packagecloud?

So far, I have no complaints about Packagecloud. Perhaps only a suggestion to remove old and unsupported versions of the OSes they support pushing packages of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is packagecloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

We had started to have problems with the self-hosted software that we used to use (aptly). Slow response, lack of features, existing features not working (cleaning package DB, remove packages for storage, for example) made managing our repository really problematic.

After signing to Packagecloud, our woes disappeared since it immediately offered easy management for the repository and the packages, besides CI integration out-of-the-box. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple to use repo for multiple package types"

5/5

What do you like best about packagecloud?

It took me literally a few seconds to set up a Ubuntu package repo, and the simplicity of the process was amazing. Pushing a package after creating a release in GitHub is easy using Actions and package_cloud CLI. I love the GUI of the repo which helps users to install and use the repo in a very simple way in no time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about packagecloud?

I like everything about packagecloud. So far, it has met all my expectations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering packagecloud:

Great place to keep your OSS packages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is packagecloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

We store our open-source Ubuntu packages in packagecloud. It helps us to avoid the hassle of maintaining a public repo by ourselves. We get a reliable repository to which we can push packages easily, and the users have the newest release of our software available immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy Cloud-hosted package distribution"

5/5

What do you like best about packagecloud?

Package cloud is extremely easy to integrate with CI pipelines. We had three application pipelines reconfigured to push packages to packagecloud within a couple hours. Our users were enjoying the ease of download right away! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about packagecloud?

There's not much to disklike. They response to support requests right away, and they provide an excellend product! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is packagecloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our users continually asked for a way to install upgrades automatically. It's cumbersome trying to maintain scripts that run in cron. Packagecloud solved all that by allowing us to give our users apt and yum repos. They can then use their normal system tools to automatically schedlue and install upgrades.
