Welcome to extrapypi’s documentation!¶

External pypi server with web ui and basics permissions management extrapypi don’t mirror official pypi packages, and will not. It’s just not build with this goal in mind. Extrapypi is just here to provide you an extra index to upload and install private packages from your own index.

Features¶

Upload packages from twine / setuptools
Install packages with pip using only extra-index option
Basics permissions management using roles (currently admin, developer, maitainer, installer)
Easy deployment / installation using the WSGI server you want
MySQL, PostgresSQL and SQLite support
Extensible storage system
CLI tools to help you deploy / init / test extrapypi
Basic dashboard to visualize packages and users

Documentation¶

Installation¶

Using pip¶

Recommanded way to install extrapypi is to use the latest version hosted on PyPI :

pip install extrapypi

Installing via git¶

Extrapypi is hosted at https://github.com/karec/extrapypi, you can install it like this

git clone https://github.com/karec/extrapypi.git
cd extrapypi
python setup.py install

Or, for development

pip install -e .

Starting and init extrapypi¶

Once installed, you will need to create a configuration file and create database, tables and users. But don’t worry, we provide commands in CLI tools to do that.

First thing we need : generate a configuration file

extrapypi start --filename myconfig.py

This will generate a minimal configuration file, full documentation on configuration is avaible in the configuration section.

Once configuration done, you can create database, tables and default users using init command

EXTRAPYPI_CONFIG=/path/to/myconfig.cfg extrapypi init

It will create two users :

User admin, with password admin and role admin
User pip with password pip and role installer

After that you can start extrapypi using run command

EXTRAPYPI_CONFIG=/path/to/myconfig.cfg extrapypi run

Warning

You will need proper database drivers if you want to use anything else than sqlite. See http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/latest/dialects/ for more informations about avaible dialects

Extrapypi configuration¶

All settings present here can be override with your own configuration file using the EXTRAPYPI_CONFIG env variable.

If the env variable is not set, default settings will be used.

This file is a pure python file, that’s mean that you can also include python code in here, for example for packages location

Warning

For security reasons you should at least change the secret key

Note

If you use anything else than sqlite, you must install correct database drivers like psycopg2 or pymysql for example. Since we use SQLAlchemy you can use any compliant database, but we only test sqlite, mysql and postgresql

Note

You can also override all settings of flask extensions used by extra-pypi even if there are not here

For quickstart you can generate a sample configuration file using start command like this

extrapypi start --filename myconfig.cfg

Generated file will have the following content

# Database connexion string
SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI = "sqlite:///extrapypi.db"

# Update this secret key for production !
SECRET_KEY = "changeit"

# Storage settings
# You need to update at least packages_root setting
STORAGE_PARAMS = {
    'packages_root': "/path/to/my/packages"
}

Configuration options

NAME	Description
BASE_DIR	Base directory, by default used by SQLALCHEMY_URI and PACKAGES_ROOT
SQLALCHEMY_URI	SQLAlchemy connexion string
DEBUG	Enable debug mode
STATIC_URL	Url for static files
SECRET_KEY	Secret key used for the application, you must update this
STORAGE	Storage class name to use
STORAGE_PARAMS	Storage class parameters, see specific storages documentation for more details
DASHBOARD	You can disable dashboard if you set it to FALSE
LOGGING_CONFIG	Logger configuration, using standard python dict config

Defaut logging config look like this

 LOGGING_CONFIG = {
  'version': 1,
  'root': {
      'level': 'NOTSET',
      'handlers': ['default'],
  },
  'formatters': {
      'verbose': {
          'format': '[%(asctime)s: %(levelname)s / %(name)s] %(message)s',
      },
  },
  'handlers': {
      'default': {
          'level': 'INFO',
          'class': 'logging.StreamHandler',
          'formatter': 'verbose',
      },
  },
  'loggers': {
      'extrapypi': {
          'handlers': ['default'],
          'level': 'WARNING',
          'propagate': False,
      },
      'alembic.runtime.migration': {
          'handlers': ['default'],
          'level': 'INFO',
          'propagate': False
      },
  }
}

Deployment¶

You can run extrapypi with run command, but since it uses flask debug server, it’s not suited for production.

But we provide a wsgi entry point to make it easier to run extrapypi using python wsgi server like gunicorn or uwsgi.

Gunicorn¶

Simple example using gunicorn

EXTRAPYPI_CONFIG=/path/to/myconfig.cfg gunicorn extrapypi.wsgi:app

Full example using systemd and nginx (based on http://docs.gunicorn.org/en/stable/deploy.html#systemd)

/etc/systemd/system/extrapypi.service

[Unit]
Description=extrapypi daemon
Requires=extrapypi.socket
After=network.target

[Service]
Environment=EXTRAPYPI_CONFIG=/path/to/myconfig.cfg
PIDFile=/run/gunicorn/pid
User=myuser
Group=myuser
RuntimeDirectory=gunicorn
ExecStart=/path/to/gunicorn --pid /run/gunicorn/pid   \
       --bind unix:/run/gunicorn/socket extrapypi.wsgi:app
       ExecReload=/bin/kill -s HUP $MAINPID
       ExecStop=/bin/kill -s TERM $MAINPID
       PrivateTmp=true

[Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target

/etc/systemd/system/extrapypi.socket

[Unit]
Description=extrapypi socket

[Socket]
ListenStream=/run/gunicorn/socket

[Install]
WantedBy=sockets.target

Next, enable and start the socket and service

systemctl enable extrapypi.socket
systemctl start extrapypi.service

Last step is to configure nginx as a reverse proxy, basic configuration will look like this

...
http {
  server {
      listen          8000;
      server_name     127.0.0.1;
      location / {
          proxy_pass http://unix:/run/gunicorn/socket;
      }
  }
}
...

Uwsgi¶

Simple example using uwsgi

EXTRAPYPI_CONFIG=/path/to/myconfig.cfg uwsgi --http 0.0.0.0:8000 --module extrapypi.wsgi:app

Full example using systemd and nginx (based on http://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Systemd.html)

/etc/systemd/system/extrapypi.socket

[Unit]
Description=Socket for extrapypi

[Socket]
ListenStream=/var/run/uwsgi/extrapypi.socket
SocketUser=myuser
SocketGroup=myuser
SocketMode=0660

[Install]
WantedBy=sockets.target

/etc/systemd/system/extrapypi.service

[Unit]
Description=%i uWSGI app
After=syslog.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/path/to/uwsgi \
             --socket /var/run/uwsgi/extrapypi.socket \
             --module extrapypi.wsgi:app
User=myuser
Group=myuser
Restart=on-failure
KillSignal=SIGQUIT
Type=notify
StandardError=syslog
NotifyAccess=all

Note

you can also add your own ini file for uwsgi configuration

Next, enable and start the socket and service

systemctl enable extrapypi.socket
systemctl start extrapypi.service

Last step is to configure nginx as a reverse proxy, basic configuration will look like this

...
http {
  server {
      listen          8000;
      server_name     127.0.0.1;
      location / {
        uwsgi_pass unix:///var/run/uwsgi/extrapypi.socket;
        include uwsgi_params;
     }
  }
}
...

Monitoring¶

To make it simpler for you to check if extrapypi server is running with your monitoring tools, we provide a simple endpoint /ping that will always return pong with status code 200. You must call this endpoint with GET http verb

Configuring pip to work with extrapypi¶

Uploading packages¶

extrapypi is compliant with setuptools / twine, you just need to update your .pypirc

[distutils]
index-servers =
    local

[local]
username=myuser
password=mypassword
repository=https://myextrapypiurl/simple/

That’s it, you can now upload packages to your extrapypi instance

Using setuptools

python setup.py bdist_wheel upload -r local

Or twine

twine upload -r local dist/extra_pypi-0.1-py3.5.egg

Installing packages¶

Two choices here :

Using CLI argument when calling pip

pip install extrapypi --extra-index-url https://user:password@myextrapypiurl/simple/

Or update your pip.conf file

[global]
extra-index-url = https://user:password@myextrapypiurl/simple/

API Documentation¶

Extrapypi app¶

Used to create application. This can be imported for wsgi file for uwsgi or gunicorn.

By default, application will look for a EXTRAPYPI_CONFIG env variable to load configuration file, but you can also pass a config parameter. The configuration files are loaded in the following order :

Load default configuration
If testing is set to True, load config_test.py and nothing else
If config parameter is not None, use it and don’t load env variable config file
If config parameter is None, try to load env variable

You can create a wsgi file like this for running gunicorn or uwsgi :

from extrapypi.app import create_app

app = create_app()

Or add any extra code if needed

extrapypi.app.configure_app(app, testing, config)¶
