F-droid repository

Cambionn · November 2022

Just wondering, as I'm busy de-Googling my systems, any change you would consider having an F-Droid repository for Astiga (or perhaps all Elsten Software apps)?

While F-Droid doesn't allow non-FOSS software in the main repository, anyone can host a repository with apps that can be added to the app in order to F-Droid which allows for managing and updating apps without the need for the Play Store. Bitwarden, Collabora, Fedilabs, Chimbori, Bromite and Molly are some examples of apps distributed like this aside of Play Store releases.

I'm not an mobile developer so I don't have direct experience with it, but here's official documentation I could find so quickly about how to set it up:

https://f-droid.org/docs/Setup_an_F-Droid_App_Repo/
https://f-droid.org/tutorials/create-repo/
https://f-droid.org/en/docs/ (general documentation regarding F-Droid)

Some companies F-Droid pages as an example:
