DRB99 - DISTRIBUTE PAINLESSLY!

---

drb99 makes releasing less painful. Pick your channels, hit the API, get your files.

Distribution channels

Channel	Generated files
npm	package.json · install.js · index.js · README.md · .gitignore
GitHub Release	.goreleaser.yml · release.yml
AUR	PKGBUILD · aur-release.yml
Nix Flake	flake.nix
Docker	Dockerfile

Architecture

The user selects distribution channels in the web UI, which sends a POST /generate request to the API with the required fields. The API returns file contents as JSON, ready to be written directly to disk.

Example request

curl -s -X POST "http://localhost:8088/api/v1/generate" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "repo_url": "https://github.com/h3yng/drb99",
    "binary_name": "drb99",
    "runtime_image": "golang:latest",
    "platforms": ["linux-amd64", "windows-amd64"],
    "features": {
      "npm_wrapper": false,
      "goreleaser": false,
      "github_actions": false,
      "docker_container": true
    }
  }'

The response is a JSON object with each requested file's path and contents, ready to write to disk.

Web UI

A hosted UI is available here.

API

The API is publicly accessible but not yet stable, breaking changes are ongoing. Full API documentation will be published once the interface settles. Until then, using the web UI is recommended.

Future UPdate

• More channels
• More configuration options per channel
• Multi-language support beyond Go
