Bare-bones server which supports will serve as a file backend to DVC
pip install simple-dvc-server
Backend
cd your_backing_store_dir
simple-dvc-server
You can also set the backing store dir arbitrarily with -w/--workdir.
In your repo:
dvc remote add --default myremote http://localhost:4223/some/path
dvc push
This will store files at your_backing_store_dir/some/path/OBJECT, where OBJECT is ab/cdef123456, with the first two letters of the hash as the prefix dir (typical git object dir notation)
You may have to fiddle with your --host flag depending on your envirnoment/container status/etc. '':4223, localhost:4223, and 0.0.0.0:4223 all have different semantics. See http.server for more details.
