Other Formats

CloudRepo supports additional repository formats beyond language-specific package managers.

Overview

While CloudRepo specializes in language-specific package repositories, it also provides flexible storage solutions for other artifact types through Raw repositories.

Raw Repositories

Raw repositories provide unrestricted file storage with:

  • Any File Type: Store binaries, archives, documents, media files

  • Directory Structure: Organize files in custom folder hierarchies

  • Direct URLs: Access files via simple HTTP/HTTPS URLs

  • Version Management: Maintain multiple versions of files

  • Access Control: Same permission system as other repository types
