Configuration

Reference

A commented out nfpm.yaml config file example:

# Name. (required)
name: foo

# Architecture. (required)
# This will expand any env var you set in the field, eg version: ${GOARCH}
# The architecture is specified using Go nomenclature (GOARCH) and translated
# to the platform specific equivalent. In order to manually set the architecture
# to a platform specific value, use deb_arch, rpm_arch and apk_arch.
arch: amd64

# Platform.
# Defaults to `linux`.
platform: linux

# Version. (required)
# This will expand any env var you set in the field, eg version: v${SEMVER}
version: v1.2.3

# Version Schema allows you to specify how to parse the version String.
# Default is `semver`
#   `semver` parse the version string as a valid semver version
#   `none` skip trying to parse the version string and just use what is passed in
version_schema: semver

# Version Epoch.
# Default is extracted from `version` if it is semver compatible.
epoch: 2

# Version Prerelease.
# Default is extracted from `version` if it is semver compatible.
prerelease: beta1

# Version Metadata (previously deb.metadata).
# Default is extracted from `version` if it is semver compatible.
# Setting metadata might interfere with version comparisons depending on the packager.
version_metadata: git

# Version Release.
# This will expand any env var you set in the field, eg release: ${VERSION_RELEASE}
release: 1

# Section.
section: default

# Priority.
# Defaults to `optional` on deb
# Defaults to empty on rpm and apk
priority: extra

# Maintainer.
# This will expand any env var you set in the field, eg maintainer: ${GIT_COMMITTER_NAME} <${GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL}>
# Defaults to empty on rpm and apk
# Leaving the 'maintainer' field unset will not be allowed in a future version
maintainer: Carlos Alexandro Becker <root@carlosbecker.com>

# Description.
# Defaults to `no description given`.
description: Sample package

# Contents to add to the package
# This can be binaries or any other files.
contents:
  # Basic file that applies to all packagers
  - src: path/to/local/foo
    dst: /usr/local/bin/foo

  # Simple config file
  - src: path/to/local/foo.conf
    dst: /etc/foo.conf
    type: config

  # Simple symlink at /usr/local/bin/foo which points to /sbin/foo, which is
  # the same behaviour as `ln -s /sbin/foo /usr/local/bin/foo`.
  #
  # This also means that both "src" and "dst" are paths inside the package (or
  # rather paths in the file system where the package will be installed) and
  # not in the build environment. This is different from regular files where
  # "src" is a path in the build environment. However, this convention results
  # in "dst" always being the file that is created when installing the
  # package.
  - src: /actual/path/to/foo
    dst: /usr/bin/foo
    type: symlink

  # Corresponds to `%config(noreplace)` if the packager is rpm, otherwise it is just a config file
  - src: path/to/local/bar.conf
    dst: /etc/bar.conf
    type: config|noreplace

  # These files are not actually present in the package, but the file names
  # are added to the package header. From the RPM directives documentation:
  #
  # "There are times when a file should be owned by the package but not
  # installed - log files and state files are good examples of cases you might
  # desire this to happen."
  #
  # "The way to achieve this, is to use the %ghost directive. By adding this
  # directive to the line containing a file, RPM will know about the ghosted
  # file, but will not add it to the package."
  #
  # For non rpm packages ghost files are ignored at this time.
  - dst: /etc/casper.conf
    type: ghost
  - dst: /var/log/boo.log
    type: ghost

  # You can user the packager field to add files that are unique to a specific packager

  # Sometimes it is important to be able to set the mtime, mode, owner, or group for a file
  # that differs from what is on the local build system at build time. The owner (if different
  # than 'root') has to be always specified manually in 'file_info' as it will not be copied
  # from the 'src' file.

    dst: /usr/local/foo

  # Using the type 'dir', empty directories can be created. When building RPMs, however, this
  # type has another important purpose: Claiming ownership of that folder. This is important
  # because when upgrading or removing an RPM package, only the directories for which it has
  # claimed ownership are removed. However, you should not claim ownership of a folder that
  # is created by the distro or a dependency of your package.
  # A directory in the build environment can optionally be provided in the 'src' field in
  # order copy mtime and mode from that directory without having to specify it manually.

Templating

Templating is not and will not be supported.

If you really need it, you can build on top of nFPM, use envsubst, jsonnet or apply some other templating on top of it.

JSON Schema

nFPM also has a jsonschema file which you can use to have better editor support:

https://nfpm.goreleaser.com/schema.json

You can also generate it for your specific version using the nfpm jsonschema command.

Note that it is in early stages. Any help and/or feedback is greatly appreciated!
