Description

Hi, We are integrating Dragonfly into our open source software that has many users. We are facing a problem: Dragonfly currently does not have Repositories to support installation. This makes it difficult for current development as well as updating our software with your Dragonfly in the future. Can you build Dragonfly Repositories specifically to support Linux distributions?

Thanks ❤️

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how existing Redis or Memcached provide Linux repos. Look into creating .deb and .rpm packages, possibly using tools like fpm or GitHub Actions. Check if the project already has packaging scripts (e.g., in docker or contrib). Consult maintainers on which distros to target and where to host the repositories (e.g., PackageCloud, Bintray, or GitHub releases).
