SysLinuxOS Repository

The official SysLinuxOS-Tools APT repository lets you install and update all SysLinuxOS packages directly via apt, with automatic GPG verification and continuous updates.

Repository URL: https://fconidi.github.io/SysLinuxOS-Tools

Quick setup

A single command configures the repository, imports the GPG key and updates the APT sources:

curl -fsSL https://fconidi.github.io/SysLinuxOS-Tools/client/install-repo.sh | sudo bash

Then install any package with:

sudo apt install distroclone
sudo apt install distroclone-backup
sudo apt install syslinuxos-snapshots
sudo apt install syslinuxos-ring-conky
sudo apt install conky-window

Updates are delivered automatically on every apt upgrade, like any standard Debian package.

Manual setup

To configure the repository by hand:

# Import the signing key
curl -fsSL https://fconidi.github.io/SysLinuxOS-Tools/syslinuxos-archive-keyring.asc \
  | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/syslinuxos-archive-keyring.gpg

# Add the APT source (deb822 format)
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/syslinuxos-tools.sources >/dev/null <<'EOF'

Tip

After installing SysLinuxOS 13.2, I recommend reinstalling the packages, to update configuration files, and align all packages with apt.

The grub-btrfs package is a customized SysLinuxOS build. The install script pins it at APT priority 1001 in /etc/apt/preferences.d/99-syslinuxos-tools.pref to ensure it always takes precedence over any Debian-provided version.
