docker.devpi-server

A dockerized devpi (PyPi) server. See more on the devpi project at http://doc.devpi.net/latest/index.html

Run server

Build the image:

docker build -t local/devpi-server .

Run a local instance of a devpi server:

docker run -d -p 3141:3141 --name devpi-server \
   -e PUBLIC_URL=http://devpi.localdomain \
   local/devpi-server

Prefer a plain HTTP endpoint as PUBLIC_URL, otherwise devpi clients should be configured to trust the HTTPS server's certificate (so the next example wont work).

Create an index for development

Suppose the devpi-server is running as a container, and we want to create an index (based on root/pypi) for user tester. We can use one-off client containers for this task:

# Create devpi user named `tester`
docker run -it --rm --link devpi-server:devpi-server \
   local/devpi-server bash scripts/create-user.sh tester

# Login and create index tester/devel based on root/pypi
docker run -it --rm --link devpi-server:devpi-server \
   local/devpi-server bash scripts/create-index.sh tester/devel

Download from index

Configure pip to communicate to our local repository (will complain if a non-HTTPS endpoint is given):

 export PIP_INDEX_URL=https://devpi.localdomain/tester/devel
 pip install jinja2

Upload from index

Configure distutils/setuptools to communicate to our local repository on setup.py upload. Edit ~/.pypirc:

[distutils]
index-servers = 
    devel

[devel]
repository: http://devpi.localdomain/tester/devel/
username: tester
password: t3ster

Upload your package to devel PyPi repository:

python setup.py sdist upload -r devel
