8 GoCheese is Python private package repository and caching proxy.
10 It serves two purposes:
13 @item hosting of private locally uploaded packages (conforming to
14 @url{https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0503/, PEP-0503} (Simple
16 @item proxying and caching of missing packages from upstream
17 @url{https://pypi.org/, PyPI}
20 Initially it was created as a fork of
21 @url{https://github.com/c4s4/cheeseshop, cheeseshop},
22 but nearly all the code was rewritten. It has huge differences:
25 @item proxying and caching of missing packages
26 @item atomic packages store on filesystem
27 @item SHA256-checksummed packages (both uploaded and proxied one)
29 @item no YAML configuration, just command-line arguments
30 @item no package overwriting ability
33 GoCheese is free software, licenced under
34 @url{https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html, GNU GPLv3} conditions:
35 see the file COPYING for copying conditions.
39 * Password authentication: Passwords.
40 * Storage format: Storage.
46 To use it for download purposes, just configure your @file{pip.conf}:
50 index-url = http://gocheese.host:8080/simple/
53 @option{-refresh} URL behaves the same way as @option{-simple} one, but
54 is always refreshes package versions from PyPI when listing it. You can
55 use it to forcefully update known package versions.
57 You can upload packages to it with
58 @url{https://pypi.org/project/twine/, twine}:
62 --repository-url http://gocheese.host:8080/simple/ \
64 --passwd foo dist/tarball.tar.gz
68 @unnumbered Password authentication
70 Password authentication is required for packages uploading.
71 You have to store your authentication data in @option{-passwd} file in
75 username:hashed-password
78 Supported hashing algorithms are:
82 @item @url{https://www.argon2i.com/, Argon2i} (recommended one!)
83 To get Argon2i hashed-password you can use any of following tools:
85 @item @url{https://github.com/balakhonova/argon2i,
86 go get github.com/balakhonova/argon2i} (Go)
87 @item @url{https://github.com/p-h-c/phc-winner-argon2} (C)
89 Example user @code{foo} with password @code{bar} can have the
90 following password file entry:
93 foo:$argon2i$v=19$m=32768,t=3,p=4$OGU5MTM3YjVlYzQwZjhkZA$rVn53v6Ckpf7WH0676ZQLr9Hbm6VH3YnL6I9ONJcIIU
97 You can use your operating system tools:
101 $ echo -n "password" | sha256
103 # GNU/Linux-based systems
104 $ echo -n "password" | sha256sum
106 Example user @code{foo} with password @code{bar} will have the
107 following password file entry:
110 foo:$sha256$fcde2b2edba56bf408601fb721fe9b5c338d10ee429ea04fae5511b68fbf8fb9
115 You can refresh passwords by sending @code{SIGHUP} signal to the working daemon:
118 $ pkill -HUP gocheese
119 $ kill -HUP `pidof gocheese`
122 Before refreshing it's recommended to check @option{-passwd} file with
123 @option{-passwd-check} option to prevent daemon failure.
126 @unnumbered Storage format
128 Root directory has the following hierarchy:
133 | +- public-package-0.1.tar.gz.sha256
134 | +- public-package-0.2.tar.gz
135 | +- public-package-0.2.tar.gz.sha256
138 | +- private-package-0.1.tar.gz
139 | +- private-package-0.1.tar.gz.sha256
143 Each directory is a package name. When you try to list non existent
144 directory contents (you are downloading package you have not seen
145 before), then GoCheese will download information about package's
146 versions with checksums and write them in corresponding @file{.sha256}
147 files. However no package package tarball is downloaded.
149 When you request for particular package version, then its tarball is
150 downloaded and verified against the checksum. For example in the root
151 directory above we have downloaded only @file{public-package-0.2}.
153 Private packages contain @file{.private} file, indicating that it must
154 not be asked in PyPI if required version is missing. You have to create
