F-Droid: Android FOSS app store
I like this app for interfacing with fdroid: https://f-droid.org/packages/com.machiav3lli.fdroid/
I also like this CLI for bulk downloading apks for initializing a new device over adb: https://github.com/mvdan/fdroidcl
To get releases faster there is obtanium: https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium

F-Droid – alternative to Google Play store
I've been trying to automate my smartphone configuration and backup lately.
I use a lot of apps from F-droid, and was pleased to discover fdroidcl: https://github.com/mvdan/fdroidcl
I now have a script that installs most of my daily drivers from it, given ADB and developer mode active on the phone.

How to install a list of apps using fdroid by adb, or using Termux or an script
I mean, if you have the APKs, this should be pretty simple. Pretty sure you can make a custom repo for FDroid and do it that way, though I have not actually done it before. Have read up on it in the past though and should be not too complicated even with non F-Droid apks. Per glavinstone's answer you could take this a step farther and script the install with fdroidcl.

Manual FDroid repo making tutorials for noobs?
I've also been confused by the way it's supposed to work and created my own tool. It's not really self-hosted and doesn't build apps by itself, but depending on your use-case it could work (kind of unlikely though).
