Package Development

Welcome to the Package Development section! This guide will help you create your own Dappnode packages. In Dappnode, packages are applications that you can download and install on your Dappnode machine, allowing you to enhance its functionality.

Types of Package Repositories​

There are two main types of package repositories:

  • Standard Package Repository: Used to generate a single package, tailored for a specific configuration.
  • Multi-Configuration (Generic) Package Repository: Used to generate multiple packages with varying configurations, such as different networks or client setups. For example, a multi-configuration repository could be used to build packages for both Holesky Nethermind and Mainnet Nethermind, which differ in their configurations.

Developing Packages​

  • Single-Configuration Package: If you want to develop a package with a single configuration, like Rotki, follow the instructions here.
  • Multi-Configuration Package: For packages with multiple configurations, like Lodestar, refer to this guide.

By following these guides, you'll be able to create and contribute your own packages to the Dappnode ecosystem.
