The private PyPI server powered by flexible backends.

pywharf

What is it?

pywharf

allows you to deploy a PyPI server privately and keep your artifacts safe by leveraging the power (confidentiality, integrity and availability) of your storage backend. The backend mechanism is designed to be flexible so that the developer could support a new storage backend at a low cost.

Supported backends:

GitHub. (Yes, you can now host your Python package in GitHub by using
```
pywharf
```
. )
File system.
... (Upcoming)

Design

The

pywharf

server serves as an abstraction layer between Python package management tools (pip/poetry/twine) and the storage backends:

Package management tools communicate with
```
pywharf
```
server, following PEP 503 -- Simple Repository API for searching/downloading package, and Legacy API for uploading package.
```
pywharf
```
server then performs file search/download/upload operations with some specific storage backend.

Usage

Install from PyPI

pip install pywharf==0.2.3

This should bring the execuable

pywharf

to your environment.

In short, the configuration passed to

--config

defines mappings from

pkg_repo_name

to backend-specific settings. In other words, a single server instance can be configured to connect to multiple backends.

Exampe of the configuration file passed to

--config

[pywharf-pkg-repo]
type = "github"
owner = "pywharf"
repo = "pywharf-pkg-repo"

[local-file-system]
type = "file_system"
read_secret = "foo"
write_secret = "bar"

Exampe of the admin secret file passed to

--admin_secret

[pywharf-pkg-repo]
type = "github"
raw = ""

[local-file-system]
type = "file_system"
raw = "foo"

Example run:

docker run --rm \
    -v /path/to/root:/pywharf-root \
    -v /path/to/config.toml:/config.toml \
    -v /path/to/admin_secret.toml:/admin_secret.toml \
    -p 8888:8888 \
    pywharf/pywharf:0.2.3 \
    server \
    /pywharf-root \
    --config=/config.toml \
    --admin_secret=/admin_secret.toml

Server API

Authentication in shell

User must provide the

pkg_repo_name

and their secret in most of the API calls so that the server can find which backend to operate and determine whether the operation is permitted or not. The

pkg_repo_name

and the secret should be provided in basic access authentication.

Some package management tools will handle the authentication behind the screen, for example,

Twine: to set the environment variables
```
TWINE_USERNAME
```
and
```
TWINE_PASSWORD
```
. ref
Poetry: Configuring credentials.

Some will not, for example,

Pip: you need to prepend
```
:@
```
to the hostname in the URL manually like this
```
https://[username[:password]@]pypi.company.com/simple
```
. ref

Authentication in browser

You need to visit

/login

page to submit

pkg_repo_name

and the secret, since most of the browsers today don't support prepending

:@

to the hostname in the URL. The

pkg_repo_name

and the secret will be stored in the session cookies. To reset, visit

/logout

Example:

http://localhost:8888/login/

PEP-503, Legacy API

The server follows PEP 503 -- Simple Repository API and Legacy API to define APIs for searching/downloading/uploading package:

```
GET /simple/
```
: List all distributions.
```
GET /simple//
```
: List all packages in a distribution.
```
GET /simple//
```
: Download a package file.
```
POST /simple/
```
: Upload a package file.

In a nutshell, you need to set the "index url / repository url / ..." to

http://:/simple/

for the package management tool.

Server management

GET /index_mtime

Get the last index index synchronization timestamp.

$ curl http://debug:[email protected]:8888/index_mtime/
1584379892

POST /initialize

Submit configuration and (re-)initialize the server. User can change the package repository configuration on-the-fly with this API.

# POST the file content.
$ curl \
    -d "config=${CONFIG}&admin_secret=${ADMIN_SECRET}" \
    -X POST \
    http://localhost:8888/initialize/

Or, POST the file.
$ curl 
    -F '[email protected]/path/to/config.toml' 
    -F '[email protected]/path/to/admin_secret.toml' 
    http://localhost:8888/initialize/

Update index

Index file is used to track all published packages in a specific time:

Remote index file: the index file sotred in the backend. By design, this file is only updated by a standalone
```
update index
```
service and will not be updated by the
```
pywharf
```
server.
Local index file: the index file synchronized from the remote index file by the
```
pywharf
```
server

To update the remote index file, use the command

pywharf update_index

SYNOPSIS
    pywharf update_index TYPE NAME 

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
    TYPE (str):
        Backend type.
    NAME (str):
        Name of config.
FLAGS
    --secret (Optional[str]):
        The secret with write permission.
    --secret_env (Optional[str]):
        Instead of passing the secret through --secret,
        the secret could be loaded from the environment variable.
    **pkg_repo_configs (Dict[str, Any]):
        Any other backend-specific configs are allowed.

Backend developer could setup an

update index

service by invoking

pywharf update_index

command.

Backend-specific commands

The backend registration mechanism will hook up the backend-specific commands to

pywharf

. As illustrated, commands

github.init_pkg_repo

and

github.gen_gh_pages

are registered by

github

backend.

$ pywharf --help SYNOPSIS pywharf

SUPPORTED COMMANDS server update_index github.init_pkg_repo github.gen_gh_pages

Environment mode

If no argument is passed,

pywharf

will try to load the arguments from the environment variables. This mode would be helpful if passing argument in shell is not possible.

The format:

```
PYWHARF_COMMAND
```
: to set
.
```
PYWHARF_COMMAND_
```
: to set the flag of
.

Backends

GitHub

Introduction

pywharf

will help you setup a new GitHub repository to host your package. You package will be published as repository release and secured by personal access token. Take https://github.com/pywharf/pywharf-pkg-repo and https://pywharf.github.io/pywharf-pkg-repo/ as an example.

Configuration and secret

Package repository configuration of GitHub backend:

```
type
```
: must set to
```
github
```
.
```
owner
```
: repository owner.
```
repo
```
: repository name.
```
branch
```
(optional): the branch to store the remote index file. Default to
```
master
```
.
```
index_filename
```
(optional): the name of remote index file. Default to
```
index.toml
```
.
```
max_file_bytes
```
(optional): limit the maximum size (in bytes) of package. Default to
```
2147483647
```
since each file included in a release must be under 2 GB, as restricted by GitHub .
```
sync_index_interval
```
(optional): the sleep time interval (in seconds) before taking the next local index file synchronization. Default to
```
60
```
.

Example configuration of https://github.com/pywharf/pywharf-pkg-repo:

[pywharf-pkg-repo]
type = "github"
owner = "pywharf"
repo = "pywharf-pkg-repo"

The GitHub backend accepts personal access token as the repository secret. The

pywharf

server calls GitHub API with PAT to operate on packages. You can authorize user with read or write permission based on team role.

Initialize the repository

To initialize a GitHub repository as the storage backend, run the command

github.init_pkg_repo

docker run --rm pywharf/pywharf:0.2.3 \
    github.init_pkg_repo \
    --name pywharf-pkg-repo \
    --owner pywharf \
    --repo pywharf-pkg-repo \
    --token  \
    --pywharf_version 0.2.3

This will:

Create a new repository
```
/
```
.
Setup the GitHub workflow to update the remote index file if new package is published.
Print the configuration for you.

If you want to host the index in GitHub page, like https://pywharf.github.io/pywharf-pkg-repo/, add

--enable_gh_pages

to command execution.

GitHub workflow integration

To use

pywharf

with GitHub workflow, take thie main.yml as an example.

Firstly, run the server as job service:

services:
  pywharf:
    image: pywharf/pywharf:0.2.3
    ports:
      - 8888:8888
    volumes:
      - pywharf-root:/pywharf-root
    env:
      PYWHARF_COMMAND: server
      PYWHARF_COMMAND_ROOT: /pywharf-root

Secondly, initialize the server with configuration and admin secret (Note: remember to add the admin secret to your repository before using it):

steps:
  - name: Setup pywharf
  run: |
    curl \
        -d "config=${CONFIG}&admin_secret=${ADMIN_SECRET}" \
        -X POST \
        http://localhost:8888/initialize/
  env:
    CONFIG: |
      [pywharf-pkg-repo]
      type = "github"
      owner = "pywharf"
      repo = "pywharf-pkg-repo"
    ADMIN_SECRET: |
      [pywharf-pkg-repo]
      type = "github"
      raw = "${{ secrets.PYWHARF_PKG_REPO_TOKEN }}"

Afterward, set

http://localhost:8888/simple/

as the repository url, and you are good to go.

File system

Introduction

You can configure this backend to host the packages in the local file system.

Configuration and secret

Package repository configuration of GitHub backend:

```
type
```
: must set to
```
file_system
```
.
```
read_secret
```
: defines the secret with read only permission.
```
write_secret
```
: defines the secret with write permission.
```
max_file_bytes
```
(optional): limit the maximum size (in bytes) of package. Default to
```
5368709119
```
(5 GB).
```
sync_index_interval
```
(optional): the sleep time interval (in seconds) before taking the next local index file synchronization. Default to
```
60
```
.

Example configuration:

[local-file-system]
type = "file_system"
read_secret = "foo"
write_secret = "bar"

To use the API, user must provide either

read_secret

write_secret

Initialize the package repository

A folder will be created automatically to store the packages, with the path

/cache//storage
