I had the pleasure of setting up my own pypi server last week because the server I had to work with is behind a corporate firewall.
To setup your own pypi server, here is what to do:
- Download pypiserver, then:
unzip pypiserver-1.1.10
cd pypiserver-1.1.10
python setup.py install
Config pypyserver settings:
cd ~
touch .pypirc
Enter the following info in to .pypirc:
[distutils]
index-servers =
pypi
local
[pypi]
username:
password:
[local]
repository: http://localhost:8080
username:
password:
Setup the packages dir, this is the place where you store the packages:
cd ~
mkdir packages
Run!
pypi-server -p 8080 ~/packages
You might want to keep the server running even after you logout of terminal:
nohup pypi-server -p 8080 ~/packages &
You need to stuff your packages folder so that there will be something for pip install, here are essential packages you need to at least get a virtual environment running:
- pbr
- pip
- setuptools
- six
- stevedore
- virtualenv
- virtualenv-clone
- virtualenvwrapper
- wheel
To download these packages, just go to https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ and search for the package name, then download the tar.gz version of that package. Once downloaded, move the zip file to the ~/packages folder.
To verify that the server is up and running， simply go to localhost:8080/simple/, you should see a list of package names (or empty if you haven't copied any packages into the packages folder yet).
Config your client to download python packages from your server:
cd ~
mkdir .pip
touch .pip/pip.conf
Put the following lines into pip.conf：
[global]
index-url = http://localhost:8080/simple
[install]
trusted-host = localhost
Done! Try using pip install and it will download a package instantly from your ~/packages folder and install it :)
