Why
While fpm is great, for me, it is a bummer that it depends on ruby, tar
and other software.
I wanted something that could be used as a binary and/or as a library and that was really simple.
So I created nFPM: a simpler, 0-dependency, as-little-assumptions-as-possible alternative to fpm.
Getting started
Special thanks 🙏
Thanks to the fpm authors for fpm, which inspires nfpm a lot.
