Docker image for devpi

A ready to use Docker image for devpi. It includes the following plugins and components:

• devpi-server (>=4.0.0), devpi-web and devpi-client
• Semantic UI theme (with patches).
• devpi-ldap
• devpi-findlinks
• devpi-cleaner
• devpi-slack

Starting the image

devpi needs its own folder to store packages and data, which you probably want to map a volume to. Additionally, map TCP port 3141.

docker run -d -p 3141:3141 -v /some/place:/devpi \
--name devpi-server lordgaav/devpi:latest

The first time it runs, the startup script will generate a password for the root user and store it in .root_password in the volume.

If you want to use the LDAP plugin, you need to map the YAML configuration file into the Docker and tell devpi-server to use it:

docker run -d -p 3141:3141 -v /some/place:/devpi -v /path/to/ldap.yml:/ldap.yml \
--name devpi-server lordgaav/devpi:latest --ldap-config=/ldap.yml

devpi-client helper

A small helper script is provided to manipulate the running container. The script will automatically log in as the root user for running commands.

$ docker exec -it devpi-server devpi-client -h
logged in 'root', credentials valid for 10.00 hours
usage: /usr/local/bin/devpi [-h] [--version] [--debug] [-y] [-v]
                            [--clientdir DIR]
                            {quickstart,use,getjson,patchjson,list,remove,user,login,logoff,index,upload,test,push,install,refresh}
...

Alternatively, you can start an interactive shell.

$ docker exec -it devpi-server devpi-client bash
logged in 'root', credentials valid for 10.00 hours
