nfpm 2.42.1

nFPM is Not FPM - a zero dependencies, simple deb, rpm, apk, ipk, and arch linux packager written in Go

Why

While fpm is great, for me, it is a bummer that it depends on ruby, tar and other software.

I wanted something that could be used as a binary and/or as a library and that was really simple.

So I created nFPM: a simpler, 0-dependency, as-little-assumptions-as-possible alternative to fpm.

Getting started

Install nfpm using your favorite tool. For example using uv:

uv add --dev nfpm

You will then have the command nfpm (or nfpm.exe on Windows) available in your PATH.

import subprocess
subprocess.run(['nfpm', '--help'], check=True)

You can then check the documentation of the nfpm command:

• Getting Started
• Usage
• Configuration reference

Special thanks 🙏

Thanks to the fpm authors for fpm, which inspires nfpm a lot.
