Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about ZipZen package management.
ZipZen supports multiple package formats:
- .deb files for Debian/Ubuntu systems
- .rpm files for RHEL/CentOS/Fedora systems
- .tar.gz/.tgz files for Helm charts
- Any binary files for general hosting
When you upload .deb or .rpm packages, we automatically extract metadata and create proper APT or YUM repositories. For Helm charts, we parse Chart.yaml and create Helm repositories. For other files, we provide clean hosting with predictable download URLs.
When you upload a .deb package, ZipZen extracts the metadata and generates a complete APT repository with Packages.gz, Release files, and proper directory structure. Same for .rpm packages - we create YUM repositories with repodata and all metadata files. For Helm charts, we parse Chart.yaml and create index.yaml files. All repositories include GPG signing support and clean URLs. Users can add your repository with a single command.
Yes! We provide a CLI tool that works with popular CI/CD platforms such as:
- GitHub Actions
- GitLab CI
- Jenkins
- CircleCI
- TravisCI
Upload your GPG private key in project settings (stored encrypted), and we'll automatically sign all APT and YUM repository metadata. Users can download your public key and verify package authenticity. For APT, they add your key with apt-key add or gpg. For YUM, they import with rpm --import. We handle all the signing complexity.
You get predictable URLs that never change:
Direct Downloads:
dl.zipzen.dev/username/project/latest/file.zipdl.zipzen.dev/username/project/v1.0.0/file.zip
Repository URLs:
- APT:
apt.zipzen.dev/username/project - YUM:
yum.zipzen.dev/username/project - Helm:
helm.zipzen.dev/username/project
Key Features:
- The
/latest/version always points to your most recent release - Perfect for README files and installation scripts
- Clean, professional URLs for your projects
We support packages up to 2GB in size. For larger files, use our CLI tool which supports resumable uploads, parallel chunking, and better error handling. The CLI can handle files of any size by breaking them into chunks. If an upload fails, it can resume from where it left off. All plans include generous bandwidth allowances and global CDN.
All plans start with a 7-day free trial. Basic ($3/month) includes 5GB storage and 2,000 monthly downloads. Starter ($7/month) includes 50GB storage and 25,000 downloads. Pro ($15/month) includes 200GB storage and 100,000 downloads. All plans include unlimited projects, CLI access, API access, GPG signing, and global CDN. You can upgrade or downgrade anytime.
