I pursued some bug reports and they were addressed. \* The CLI tool is implemented in ruby (not my first language) and requires a runtime I don't usually install. \* The non-SSO authorization is token-centric which might be a bad fit for some. > > I selected packagecloud after reviewing at least 8 various and sundry package hosting providers. Packagecloud was the only vendor in the space to support Debian packages at a reasonable price point. We started small, with a few dozen packages. Years later, we now keep hundreds of packages in packagecloud. Client setup takes some work to automate, but once that's accomplished, it works like magic. No package hosting provider does what I need better than packagecloud. If such a competitor existed, I would have found it by now. ----- ### "Good idea to start with a free tier" — 5.0/5 > **Takeshi** | *26 March 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It can be easily used as a package repository for each OS. In addition, package management is easy, and you can manage repositories and packages according to the situation. It's easy to start to use and doesn't bother you. > > **Cons**: It would be nice to be able to handle 2FA. We also expect that it can be used as a repository other than OS-related packages (NPM, Helm, Python, etc.). > > There is a high threshold for uploading packages such as RPM and Debian to the official repository. That's why packagecloud.io was useful as a private (or public) repository. It is also a good point to be able to update the package according to the schedule of the development side. You can change the billing amount according to the usage traffic and capacity, and you can start cheaply. ----- ### "Almost perfect" — 5.0/5 > **Francesco** | *7 July 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Fast and easy to use, best support ever, clear documentation > > **Cons**: New pricing tier do not suit our need perfectly ----- ### "Packagecloud facilitates large-scale deployment of my open source projects." — 5.0/5 > **D. R.** | *4 December 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I maintain three popular open source projects, including an ISO/ITU-T reference implementation of the JPEG standard that is used by tens of thousands of developers and billions of end users every day as well as high-performance remote display software that is used by numerous corporations and academic institutions. packagecloud provides a convenient, stable, easy to use platform for hosting official RPM and DEB packages built from the releases of my software, which facilitates large-scale deployment. I particularly like the command line interface, which makes it possible to automatically push new packages to packagecloud whenever I push a new release. > > **Cons**: The command line interface could use more features, such as an rsync-like feature that pushes only the changed packages from a specified set of files or a directory, the ability to list all packages (and their metadata) currently hosted in a repository, etc. ----- ### "Just Signed Up for Packagecloud\!" — 5.0/5 > **Scot** | *24 August 2023* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I lost bintray some time ago and have been seeking an alternative. Well, I found it\! > > **Cons**: I am starting my journey with Packagecloud: thus far I have no complaints. > > Setting things up is very easy. The support team is responsive and knowledgeable. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/348779/packagecloud?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/348779/packagecloud) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
