Description

Hello fellow developers,

I'm currently trying this neat docker extension
and during installation I tried to find sysbox in the Ubuntu package archive
and as I haven't found it there, I tried to find a repository server,
but eventually I ended up downloading the github release file.

In my view it would be a huge improvement
if you provide an ubuntu repository server on a subdomain/etc.

It's just a small service,
but it would really help updating sysbox without the need of a watchdog and an individual update-script.

  • please tell me if I oversee something 😄

Regards,
Felix
