Are packages for distributions a thing yet?

• old-gregg 8y ago
  Thank you for asking! We're aware of some community-supported packages (brew, AUR) and there are contributed scripts in the OSS repository as well (rpm) but we're a bit hesitant to recommend `apt-get upgrade` path because Teleport has a recommended upgrade sequence documented here: https://gravitational.com/teleport/docs/admin-guide/#upgrade-sequence https://gravitational.com/teleport/docs/admin-guide/#upgrade... I.e. you have to upgrade your auth/audit servers first. Some (too many?) folks run an equivalent of `apt upgrade/update` on their entire fleet, which makes it incompatible with the recommended upgrade sequence. OS distro managers aren't really optimized for multi-host software, they are too host-centric. Besides, Teleport is a single binary, i.e. hopefully it's not too hard for users to get it right. Either way, we're keeping this conversation open: https://github.com/gravitational/teleport/issues/514 https://github.com/gravitational/teleport/issues/514

    That really does suck, having prebuilt packages I could throw into my repos would definitely save a step. I'd argue there many other ways for users to shoot themselves in the foot, so if that's your only reasoning for not providing them I'm disappointed.

  I packaged it up for Nix, though it might need an update. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/33853 https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/33853
