dput2aptly

dput2aptly is a script for dput as the post_upload_command, to upload your own packages to an aptly-managed debian repo.

howto

Copy dput2aptly to your aptly server, as it is going to be run remotely via SSH.
- dput2aptly needs to be executable and in $PATH.

Add a new section in your dput.cf. For example:

[myrepo]
fqdn = deb.yourdomain.com
method = rsync
login = *
incoming = /tmp/deb/incoming
pre_upload_command = ssh %(fqdn)s mkdir -p %(incoming)s
post_upload_command = ssh %(fqdn)s sudo dput2aptly repo_owner repo_name %(myrepo)s %(incoming)s

rsync is not mandatory. You can use scp if you like.
incoming should be a directory that can be written by your ssh user.

Use dput as you were used to before. Enjoy!
