devpi-docker

Introduction

Host your private PyPI server by running devpi as a Docker container.

Usage

docker run -d --name=devpi -p 80:80 tonyseek/devpi:2.1.5-1

Upgrading

For example, to upgrade devpi from 2.1.3-1 to 2.1.5-1, we need to:

1. Update the docker image:

   docker pull tonyseek/devpi:2.1.5-1
   

2. Stop the running container:

   docker stop devpi
   

3. Export data to a new container:

   BACKUP_DIR=/var/lib/devpi-upgrade
   docker run --name=devpi-upgrade --volume=$BACKUP_DIR --volumes-from=devpi tonyseek/devpi:2.1.3-1 --export=$BACKUP_DIR
   

4. Import data from that container using new image:

   docker run --rm --volumes-from=devpi-upgrade --volumes-from=devpi tonyseek/devpi:2.1.5-1 --import=$BACKUP_DIR
   

5. Remove the old container and create the new one:

   docker run --name=devpi-data --volumes-from=devpi busybox true
   docker rm devpi
   docker run -d --name=devpi -p 80:80 tonyseek/devpi:2.1.5-1
   

6. Check the new devpi on its website and remove useless containers:

   docker rm devpi-data devpi-upgrade
