Puck 🏒

Puck (Package Update Checking Kit yes I know it sucks) is a simple tool that connects to your servers and checks for apt package updates.

Screenshot

Warning ⚠️: Puck is in early stages of development it still has a lot of missing features I want to add. I hope I can have a stable release soon.

Features 😲

Well about that...

  • Tiny CLI (only 10mb)
  • Beautiful CLI
  • Really fast*

Puck itself is really fast since it's written in GO but the actual speed depends on the server

Supported Target Operating Systems

Currently puck supports these operating systems/package managers:

  • Ubuntu (apt)
  • Debian (apt)
  • Fedora (dnf)
  • Open Suse (dnf)
  • Alpine (apk)
  • Arch (pacman) why would you run arch in a server 🤨

Todo 📃

  • Redesign the CLI UI
  • Docker Image
  • Web UI
  • Discord notifications
  • Ntfy notifications
  • Ability not to use sudo (for systems running with root)
  • Support for other package managers (currently only supporting apt)

Running 🏃

Puck is built for multiple architectures and systems and you can simply download it and run it from the release page, thats it!

Building 🛠️

You can build puck very easily by installing go and git on your pc and then simply running:

go build .

The build is really fast and when it finished you should have a binary called puck in your current directory.

Note 📝: If you like so you can build the app for different architectures using this command GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 go build . which will create puck.exe for windows amd64. While I am not actively testing this on other architectures it should work just fine.

Usage

To begin with you need a configuration file, check out the wiki on how to create your configuration file.

Running with binary 🗑️

After you make your configuration file you can run puck using this command:

./puck check

Puck be default will look for puck.yml but if you wish to use a different file name you can use the -c or --config flag to specify a custom path, this is also the same for the docker image.

Running with docker 🐋

If you prefer docker you can run puck using this command:

docker run -t --rm --name=puck -v /some/path/puck.yml:/puck.yml:ro ghcr.io/steveiliop56/puck

Contributing ❤️

Contributing is really easy in puck you simply need to have go and git in your system, then you can clone the repository make your changes and open a pull request. Any help is appreciated.
