← herdr overview & all releases
📦 Currently serving: herdr 0.8.0-1~trixie for trixie (updated 2026-08-17) — architectures: amd64, arm64. This page is regenerated automatically from the repository metadata, so the version above is exactly what apt install herdr gives you today.

Debian 13 “Trixie” is the current Debian stable release. herdr is not shipped at its latest version by the official Debian archives, so this repository builds current upstream releases as native .deb packages targeted specifically at trixie, with dependencies matching what Debian 13 actually ships.

And then it keeps doing it. Every new upstream release is packaged and published here within hours, so herdr updates arrive the same way your system updates do — through apt upgrade, unattended-upgrades, or whatever already runs on your machine. No release page to watch, no version to compare, no dpkg -i to remember.

🚀 Install herdr on trixie

Step 1: Add the deb.griffo.io repository

Run the commands
sudo install -d -m 0755 /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://deb.griffo.io/EA0F721D231FDD3A0A17B9AC7808B4DD62C41256.asc | sudo gpg --dearmor --yes -o /etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg] https://deb.griffo.io/apt trixie main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb.griffo.io.list > /dev/null
sudo apt update
install -d -m 0755 /etc/apt/keyrings
curl -fsSL https://deb.griffo.io/EA0F721D231FDD3A0A17B9AC7808B4DD62C41256.asc | gpg --dearmor --yes -o /etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg] https://deb.griffo.io/apt trixie main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb.griffo.io.list > /dev/null
apt update

The sources line above pins the trixie suite explicitly, so it keeps working in containers and images where lsb_release is unavailable.

Step 2: Install herdr

sudo apt install -y herdr
apt install -y herdr

🔄 Updating

Updates arrive through normal system maintenance — new upstream releases are usually packaged within hours:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade herdr
apt update && apt install --only-upgrade herdr

🗑️ Uninstalling

sudo apt remove herdr
# optionally remove the repository as well:
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb.griffo.io.list /etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg
apt remove herdr
# optionally remove the repository as well:
rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/deb.griffo.io.list /etc/apt/keyrings/deb.griffo.io.gpg

❓ Frequently asked questions

Is this an official herdr package?

No — deb.griffo.io is an unofficial repository maintained by Dario Griffo. Packages are built automatically from official upstream herdr releases; the packaging is open source at dariogriffo/herdr-debian.

Why not install herdr from the official Debian archive?

Debian's archive freezes package versions when a release ships and afterwards receives mostly security fixes, so fast-moving tools are either absent or several releases behind. This repository tracks upstream releases instead, with builds targeted at each Debian release.

How quickly do new herdr releases arrive?

The repository polls upstream releases and publishes new builds automatically, typically within hours of an upstream release. Subscribe to the release feed to follow updates.

Which architectures are supported on trixie?

herdr is currently built for: amd64, arm64.
