About:
nfpm is a simple, declarative packager for creating Linux distribution packages like DEB and RPM without complex configuration. It allows developers to define package metadata in a YAML or TOML file, making it easy to integrate into CI/CD pipelines. The tool focuses on simplicity and speed, avoiding the overhead of traditional packaging tools.
Key Features:
  • Declarative configuration using YAML or TOML
  • Supports multiple package formats: deb, rpm, apk, and archlinux
  • Simple CLI with no external dependencies
  • Ideal for CI/CD integration and container builds
Use Cases:
  • Generating Linux packages for software distribution
  • Automating release pipelines in CI/CD environments
  • Creating lightweight containers with proper package management
Alternatives:
  • fpm – nfpm is simpler and declarative, while fpm is more feature-rich but requires more setup.
  • dpkg-buildpackage – dpkg is specific to Debian and more complex; nfpm is cross-platform and easier to use.
