How-to Guides¶
How-to guides solve a specific, real-world problem. Unlike tutorials, which guide you through learning a concept step by step, how-to guides assume you already understand the basics and need a reliable recipe for a particular task.
Pick the guide that matches your situation:
Available guides¶
| Guide | Description |
|---|---|
| Migrate from Sonatype Nexus | Export your Nexus APT repository and import every package into Repod with a bulk upload script. |
| Migrate from JFrog Artifactory | Use the Artifactory REST API and AQL to download packages and re-host them in Repod. |
| Rotate GPG signing keys | Replace your repository signing key safely using a dual-key grace period so client machines are never broken. |
| Back up and restore Repod | Schedule automated backups with backup.sh, copy them offsite, and follow the step-by-step restore procedure. |
| Configure LDAP / Active Directory | Connect Repod to your organisation's LDAP or AD directory so users can log in with their existing credentials. |
How these guides are organised¶
Each guide is self-contained. You can read them in any order. Where a guide depends on another, it links to it explicitly. Code blocks show every command you need to run; admonitions call out warnings, tips, and important notes.
