+- The Kanidm PPA repository contains Debian & Ubuntu packages built from the [main Kanidm repository](https://github.com/kanidm/kanidm).
+- Two separate components are available, `stable` for released versions and `nightly` which only

+## Installing stable on top of nightly

+If you previously had the alpha version kanidm nightly packages installed or are switching from

+losing for example Kanidm backed sudo in the middle. This snippet is intended to help with that:

+```bash
+sudo bash <<EOT
+dpkg --remove kanidm kanidm-unixd libnss-kanidm libpam-kanidm
+apt install -y kanidm kanidm-unixd
