Partial PyPI Mirrors

Sometimes you want a PyPI mirror, but you don't want the whole thing. You certainly don't want external links. What you want are the things that you need and nothing more. What's more, you often know exactly what you need because you already have a pip requirements.txt file containing the list of things you expect to download from PyPI.

pypi-mirror will build a local static mirror for you based on requirements files in git repos.

Use with diskimage-builder

The config below shows a generic sample config. If you're using this mirror in conjunction with diskimage-builder, more specific notes (including some pre-requisites and installation instructions) can be found at https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/diskimage-builder/tree/elements/pypi/README.md

Configuration

A YAML configuration is needed to create a mirror. Below is an example configuration. :

cache-root: /tmp/cache

mirrors:
  - name: openstack
    projects:
      - https://git.openstack.org/openstack/requirements
    output: /tmp/mirror/openstack

  - name: openstack-infra
    projects:
      - https://git.openstack.org/openstack-infra/config
    output: /tmp/mirror/openstack-infra

Creating a mirror

The run_mirror utility creates a mirror. :

run-mirror -c mirror.yaml
