Linux package/repository installation

I’m just a dabbler in Linux so don’t really understand how all this works, but in deciding to play with Duplicati in a LinuxLite VM I found that it’s not available via the “normal” Synaptic Package Manager.

Is it possible and/or desirable to have Duplicati be available in such a fashion?

Maybe… There are some details on the process here:

Help to setup on a remote (headless) Linux server?

We did attempt at one point, but it is a bit cumbersome to get all the dependencies into debian as well. As everything is platform independent, I would like to just supply all libraries in the correct versions, but that does not really play well with Debian’s package policy. I have wanted to setup a PPA for some time, but never gotten around to it. That would also make it possible to provide timely updates. Before starting the service, run the server with a password command: duplicati-serve…

Thanks. I missed that out had been discussed elsewhere. Making as resolved in favor of the other Topic.
