@mapache@hachyderm.io It probably depends on the dependencies?
If the app relies on external services like PostgreSQL or Redis, Docker images with Helm charts or Docker Compose configs might make senseâthey bundle the complexity nicely.
For standalone apps, system packages (deb/rpm) would be nice in theory, but I imagine maintaining packages for multiple distros is quite a bit of work. Maybe a practical middle ground could be: provide packages for the major families (RedHat + Debian) and offer a single-file executable as a fallback for everyone else?
Personally, I tend to avoid install scripts when possibleâthey feel less transparent to me, though I understand others might feel differently.
