Official stable package distribution
Stable packages for production deployments
Run Himmelblau from official stable repositories with predictable, versioned releases for supported Linux distributions.
A subscription provides maintained DEB and RPM packages through entitlement tokens. You pay for building, hosting, organizing, and distributing release packages, while helping fund release maintenance and continued development.
Repository access does not include technical support.
Choose the contribution that fits your use
Both options provide the same repository access, including the 3.x and 4.x streams. Monthly and yearly subscriptions differ only in billing frequency. Open Collective shows the current amounts at checkout.
Contributions use the honor system: choose an amount that responsibly reflects your deployment size and the value Himmelblau provides. There is no per-host licensing or feature restriction.
