apt-charliek

A public Debian/Ubuntu apt repository for Charlie Knudsen's open-source projects. After adding the repo once, friends and Linux users can install and update tools like prox, shed-server, envsecrets, and roost through their normal apt install / apt upgrade workflow.

Status: prox, envsecrets, and roost are live; shed-server planned

prox, envsecrets, and roost are installable today. Entries marked planned in the table below won't appear via apt install until their first release fires the publish workflow.

Install

curl -fsSL https://apt.stridelabs.ai/pubkey.gpg | \
  sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/apt-charliek.gpg > /dev/null
echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/apt-charliek.gpg] https://apt.stridelabs.ai noble main" | \
  sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/apt-charliek.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install prox

Tested on Pop!_OS 24.04 and Ubuntu 24.04+. Older Ubuntu LTS releases are out of scope.

What's in it

The repo aggregates .deb packages produced by each source project's release pipeline. The noble suite ships across Ubuntu 24.04+ derivatives (Pop!_OS 24.04, Ubuntu 24.10, Ubuntu 25.04, etc.) — modern libadwaita and libssl ABIs are stable enough that one set of debs covers all of them.

Package Source Status Description
prox charliek/prox published (v0.1.1) Modern process manager for development with API-first design
shed-server charliek/shed planned CLI and server for managing persistent VM-based dev environments
envsecrets charliek/envsecrets published (v0.0.8) CLI for managing encrypted environment files using GCS and age
roost charliek/roost published (v0.0.1) Multi-project terminal multiplexer for AI coding agents (GTK desktop app + roostctl CLI; macOS ships as a DMG)
craze charliek/craze published (v0.0.1) Terminal UI that drives Cursor and Grok coding agents over ACP
parcel charliek/parcel published (v0.1.2) CLI for Parcel: publish HTML pages to private, sandboxed links (agents use it too)

Packages are added to the repo by appending an entry to packages.yaml. See Adding a Package.

Why this repo

  • One distribution channel for all charliek projects on Linux, paired with charliek/homebrew-tap for macOS.
  • Real apt update / apt upgrade instead of wget && dpkg -i for every release.
  • End-to-end auto-publish — tagging a release in a source repo triggers GoReleaser → nfpm deb → repository_dispatch → this repo's publish workflow → updated apt metadata in GCS, all in a few minutes.
