Description
According to Repology, packages only exist for Homebrew, Linuxbrew, and Scoop -- and one of those is outdated. The BlackArch package there is for an unrelated tool.
Can the developers please contribute some packages, at least for one or two ports-like systems like Arch and Alpine, which would greatly assist others in the creation of other more-involved package types?
I haven't used armor yet, so am not familiar with -- for example -- what configuration directories and files it expects to be present. But here is a jump start for an Arch PKGBUILD:
pkgname=armor
pkgver=0.4.13
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Uncomplicated, modern HTTP server"
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
url="https://github.com/labstack/armor"
license=('MIT')
makedepends=(go)
source=(${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.gz::${url}/archive/v${pkgver}.tar.gz)
sha256sums=('1e80b70c2fa245800594f3ef7b6bb14d2af4fda2a8622d3c8a0a28f9ef6c4629')
build() {
cd ${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}
go build -o bin/armor cmd/armor/main.go
}
package() {
cd ${srcdir}/${pkgname}-${pkgver}
install -D -m755 bin/armor ${pkgdir}/usr/bin/armor
}
This at least works for the basic no-config test case.

Research direction
Start with the provided Arch PKGBUILD and the Go entry point cmd/armor/main.go; verify how the basic no-config case is built and run. Done means contributing a working package for at least one or two Linux distribution or ports-like systems, with the expected configuration paths accounted for.
