docker-devpi

This repository contains a Dockerfile for devpi pypi server. Based on https://github.com/muccg/docker-devpi.

You can use this container to speed up the pip install parts of your docker builds. This is done by adding an optional cache of your requirement python packages and speed up docker. The outcome is faster development without breaking builds.

Getting started

Published on Docker hub as lieturd/devpi.

  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: pypi-cache
  replicas: 1

        app: pypi-cache
    spec:
      containers:
        - name: pypi-cache
          image: lieturd/devpi:latest
          imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
          ports:
            - containerPort: 3141
              name: pypi

Persistence

For devpi to preserve its state across container shutdown and startup you should mount a volume at /data. The quickstart command already includes this.

Security

Devpi creates a user named root by default, its password should be set with DEVPI_PASSWORD environment variable. If not set, a random one will be generated.

For additional security the argument --restrict-modify root has been added so only the root may create users and indexes.
