elastic pypi
A mostly functional simple pypi service running on AWS.
Uploads do not work
This is a limitation of AWS API Gateway. You will have to find other ways to upload your packages to the S3 bucket.
Running serverless wsgi locally allows uploads to work.
Cannot browse with a browser
This is a limitation of current browsers. They have removed basic authentication for remote urls via the url (e.g. x:y@z). WWW-Authenticate responses do not work with AWS Lambda.

Configuration
{
"service": "serverless-service-name", // your serverless service name
"stage": "/dev", // The slash is important as it becomes part of the url in the templates
"bucket": "your-bucket-name", // the bucket you want packages stored in
"table": "you-pypi-packages-table", // the dynamodb table
"profile": "your-aws-profile", // AWS profile for serverless
"username": "standard", // basic auth
"password": "something-secretive", // basic auth
"overwrite": false // Only applies to the local server. If true will overwrite packages
}yarn and pip are required to install the necessary packages to deploy.
yarnsls deploy
Note that when deploying do not have the virtualenv activated. The wsgi pluging for serverless will automatically fetch the python requirements.
Based on the output of the deploy command or via the AWS console add the url to your pip conf.
The url should be something like https://blah.execute-api.region.amazonaws.com/dev/simple.
Make sure you add a trailing slash as required in the PEP.
Make sure you add your basic authentication credentials to your url.
Throttling
AWS resources maybe throttled. As such, if you are intending to dump a bunch of packages into the S3 bucket check your service and account limits. Additionally, changing the read and write capacity of dynamodb may help. It is currently set to the lowest possible unit (1).
Requirements
- Install testing requirements from
test-requirements.txt - Run
python -m pytest
- Proxy for packages not found
- Token auth of some kind for browsing in a browser
