Is there any online service that I could use in order to have a private Debian repository?
Is there any online service that I could use in order to have a private Debian repository?
Or maybe a way to use existing cloud services like Google Drive or OneDrive or Dropbox for this purpose?
I just have a bunch of .deb files and I think this could be really useful. Plus I will be offloading some of my storage 😁

Hi. You have two main ways to achieve this: use an artifact store such as Pulp and https://github.com/pulp/pulp_deb plugin or basically do it yourself by creating the APT repo manually and delivering it over HTTP similar to https://linuxopsys.com/topics/create-your-own-repository-for-packages-on-debian#Step_4_Create_the_Required_Repository_Package_Meta_for_APT
There is no magic. Creating Yum or APT repos boils down to having packages and their metadata in a structured format and making it consumable over HTTP. To get started, you can also inspect any upstream repo in your browser.
Good luck. Feel free to report back if you have more specific questions.
I don't think this gets at what they are trying to do. I think they want to set up access control to the repo. They want access to the repo to be private but also use it for themselves like any other repo.

Maybe I'm not reading their description accurately, but that's how I took it.
