There is more than one way to create an ipk-file but want to remind you of our docker ipk-builder.

[https://hub.docker.com/r/wagoautomation/ipk-builder](https://hub.docker.com/r/wagoautomation/ipk-builder)

**Very Quickstart:**

1. Create two folders and give them a name e.g. “source” and “destination”.

2. Inside the “source” folder create a new folder named “data” and “control”.

3. Copy your sourcefiles to “source/data” folder.

4. Inside the “control” folder create a file called “control”.

5. In the “source” folder create a file named “debian-binary” with the content “2.0”.

6. Update your paths in the docker run command and execute, then find the .ipk in the “destination” folder.

7. Install in WBM → software uploads (or by SSH → “opkg” command).

Could it been possible to get all the ipk files on a server. Where they could have been maintained and easy to obtain?

Maybe the community would like to support a server.
