After compiling the binary (with haskell-stack) I use fpm to package it up as a .deb (https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm).

I then scp the file into the pool directory on my server, and re-run a script that calls apt-ftparchive and regenerates the contents of the repo (https://manpages.debian.org/buster/apt-utils/apt-ftparchive....).

My web server hosts that directory with indexing enabled, but I don't use apache for it like most examples do. There's nothing special about it, it's just a directory tree built in a way that apt likes. (https://pkg.kamelasa.dev/). In fact, the entire configuration of the repo is visible there.

There's a step in the middle where I sign the packages with my GPG key, and the public key is available on Ubuntu's keyserver (http://keyserver.ubuntu.com/).

I don't need to run this workflow very often, as it'll take about 40 minutes to rebuild and push. But if I do update my SSG I know it'll end up in my debian repo with a version bump, so I'm happy.

On a second pipeline I can just do a simple 'add-apt-repository' and 'apt install'.
