📦 Atop Package Builder

This repository contains a GitHub Actions workflow to build atop as both .deb and .rpm packages using Docker.
The workflow is manually triggered and accepts a version input.

🚀 Features

• Builds .deb and .rpm packages from separate Dockerfiles
• Multi-architecture builds for both amd64 and arm64
• Parallel build jobs for faster execution
• Manual trigger with version input
• Artifacts are stored as downloadable build outputs

🧰 Requirements

• Dockerfiles must be present at:
  • Dockerfile.deb for Debian-based package build
  • Dockerfile_el8.rpm for RPM-based package build for EL8
  • Dockerfile_el9.rpm for RPM-based package build for EL9
  • Dockerfile_el10.rpm for RPM-based package build for EL9
• Each Dockerfile must:
  • Accept a build-arg named ATOP_VERSION

🛠️ Usage

To build atop packages:

1. Go to the Actions tab in your GitHub repository.
2. Select the workflow: 📦 Build Atop Linux Packages (.deb & .rpm).
3. Click Run workflow.
4. Enter the version number to build (e.g., 2.12.0).
5. Click Run workflow to start the job.

After the build finishes, you can download the generated .deb and .rpm files from the "Artifacts" section of the workflow run.

🗂️ Output

File Name	Platform	Architecture	Type
atop-<version>_amd64.deb	Debian	amd64	.deb
atop-<version>_arm64.deb	Debian	arm64	.deb
atop-<version>-1.el8.aarch64.rpm	EL8 (RHEL 8)	aarch64	.rpm
atop-<version>-1.el8.x86_64.rpm	EL8 (RHEL 8)	x86_64	.rpm
atop-<version>-1.el9.aarch64.rpm	EL9 (RHEL 9)	aarch64	.rpm
atop-<version>-1.el9.x86_64.rpm	EL9 (RHEL 9)	x86_64	.rpm
atop-<version>-1.el10.aarch64.rpm	EL10 (RHEL 10)	aarch64	.rpm
atop-<version>-1.el10.x86_64.rpm	EL10 (RHEL 10)	x86_64	.rpm

💡 Notes

• The build jobs are completely isolated using Docker — no atop or its dependencies are installed on the host.
• You can further extend this workflow to automatically upload the built packages to an internal Pulp repository if desired.
• There is an Ansible role for atop available.
