appgateway

Appgateway is a tool for fetching Android apps from various sources, verifying their integrity and publishing them over a F-Droid repository. At the moment their are two input sources available: https and PlayStore Packages All activities will be logged to /var/log/appgateway.log

Requirements

The tool relies on gplacli (https://github.com/matlink/gplaycli) for the PlayStore interface and fdroidserver (https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidserver) for providing the repo.

Issues

Commit 61ed5aa6f1e3cae7beecc7f1375ae86b0b70cba5 of gplaycli breakes appgateway. I've forked a working version (https://github.com/bibor/gplaycli).

Configuration

The configuration file must be placed at /etc/appgateway/appgateway.conf A example configuration (with placeholders) is given in appgateway_example.conf

Syntax

Every app is a section in the INI-like conf file, with one exception, the META section.

[META]
repo = /var/www/html/
apk_store = /var/fdroid/repo
fdroid_dir = /var/fdroid
archive = /var/apkstore_archive
credentials = /etc/gplay/credentials.conf

[<APP ID>]
source = <playstore or https>
url = <url> # only necessary for https sources
cert_sha256 = <hash> # SHA256 of the developers certificate

App verification

The integrity of all downloaded apps will be verified through apksigner. The SHA256 sum of the signer's cert will be compared to the one, given in the config file.

Easy deployment

I'm currently working on a docker container with a full functional setup for easy deployment
