Ubuntu/Debian Emby Repository service.

[Oratorian 10]

I am testing a selfhosted repository that I created for emby.
At the moment it only supports the i386/amd64 releases of emby.
I will add the others by due time.

I created two releases, one for stable and one for beta.

echo 'deb https://repo.amhosting.de/ubuntu beta main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/emby.list

or 

echo 'deb https://repo.amhosting.de/ubuntu stable main' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/emby.list

The Repository is signed with the following Key : 3B6E 90FE 3203 A81F

Import it : 

curl -fsSl https://repo.amhosting.de/repo-key.pub | gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/repo.amhosting.gpg

Check that the key is successfully installed

sudo apt-key list

You should find something like this
 

Quote

/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/repo.amhosting.gpg
-----------------------------------------
pub   rsa4096 2024-01-26 [SCEA]
      4ACF 3B89 F044 1F51 1059  B18A 3B6E 90FE 3203 A81F
uid           [ unknown] amhosting <embyrepo@amhosting.de>

After that you should be able to install emby with
 

sudo apt install emby-server

 This Repo also works for all Debian based systems.

Thanks for sharing.

Changelog:

• Added other arches to the repo (armhf & amd64)
• Added all available downloads to beta which were publicly available ( 4.8.0.74 and 4.8.0.75)
• Added the last 7 stable releases - 4.7.8.0 to 4.7.14.0

This Repo is now self updating whenever emby releases a new version.

@Lukewould be nice if this post could get pinned.

I am not sure if a third-party repo should be pinned (and implied to be recommended by Emby) since you never know if the packages can be trusted going forward in case the domain or server ever gets hijacked.

Valid reason your Honor. The defendant has no more questions your Honor.

I will still do my best to keep it up, in case there are ppl whi want an easy install on Debian based systems.

I don't understand why Emby doesn't host one itself? Rather then rely on a customer to do it? Not trying to put them down I love Emby, just trying to understand why?

Hi, it’s something that we’ve talked about and is certainly possible.

My repository still runs if you want to use it, feel free.
If you wan't to share it i would be glad if you do so.

My repository now holds about 9G of emby beta builds from 4.8.074 - 4.9.0.18 and about 5G of stable builds from 4.7.10.0 - 4.8.6.0.

Sourcecode of my used script can be found here.

It's crude, not perfect in any way, but it gets the job done without running into a ratelimit in github.
