  3. aptly

    aptly - Debian repository management tool

    Project mention: Why did containers happen? A view from ten years in the trenches by Docker's fo | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-10-14

    If you need a specific version of one package: apt-get install hello=2.10-3

    If you want to lock down versions on a system, Apt Pinning: https://wiki.debian.org/AptConfiguration#Using_pinning

    If you have a herd of systems - prod environments, VMs for CI, lots of dev workstations, and especially if your product is an appliance VM: you might want to run your own apt mirror, creating known-good snapshots of your packages. I use https://www.aptly.info/

    Containers can also be a great solution though.
