Description

This cookbook configures the machine as a mirror of https://pypi.python.org/.

Requirements

Platform

• Ubuntu 13.04 (that's all we support at /dev/fort for now, so that's all I've tested.)

Attributes

Cookbook attributes are named under the pypi_mirror namespace.

• node['pypi_mirror']['user'] - user to host PyPI mirror as, defaults to fort
• node['pypi_mirror']['data_dir'] - directory to store PyPI mirror in, defaults to '/data/pypi'
• node['pypi_mirror']['apache']['listen_hostname'] - Hostname to listen on for PyPI Apache virtualhost, defaults to '*'
• node['pypi_mirror']['apache']['listen_port'] - Port to listen on for PyPI Apache virtualhost, defaults to '80'

Recipes

The main entrypoint for this cookbook is the default recipe.

Usage

Include pypi-mirror and it will start replicating https://pypi.python.org/. This will take a very long time (probably a couple of days), and require tens of gigabytes of storage (~60GB, at time of writing). You have been warned.

You can keep an eye on the mirroring progress by running tailing /var/log/upstart/pypi-mirror.log.
