Hi Everyone, I want to setup my own F-Droid Repo but it always fails and I don’t know where.

Here’s the Log:

forget it I just do everything manually

3

Do explain what you do, build or just publish? How did you install fdroidserver? Where did you put the apks? How were they named? Etc

4

I installed fdroidserer via Git and wanted to build every App from Scratch via fdroid build

5

Build in a VM or bare metal? VM via libvirt or virtualbox? Baremetal and you’ve installed all app deps?
