A self hosted CRAN-like R package repository.
- Build the docker image
git clone https://github.com/UptakeOpenSource/cran-server
cd cran-server
docker build -t cran-server .
- Run the docker image
docker run --name cran --rm -d -p 8080:80 cran-server
- Visit in your browser
# On Mac
open http://localhost:8080
You're all set!
- Ready: supports AWS S3 and file system storage out of the box
- Extensible: we made it really easy to support other storage backends
- Web UI: allows you to see and search published packages
cran-server requires Python 3.5 or greater.
git clone https://github.com/UptakeOpenSource/cran-server
cd cran-server
pip install .
You can release a package to cran-server using a POST request.
# bash
tarball=<PATH-TO-TARBALL>
curl -X POST -F file=@$tarball http://localhost:8080
Use the repos argument when using install.packages from R. For example, when running locally:
install.packages('uptasticsearch', repos = 'http://localhost:8080')
By default, cran-server uses file system storage, but in a production environment in most cases S3 or another object store is desirable. cran-server supports AWS S3 out of the box. The recommended way to set configuration options is using a .env file.
# .env
STORAGE_BACKEND='aws'
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<YOUR_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID_HERE>
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<YOUR_AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY_HERE>
AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=<YOUR_PREFERED_REGION_HERE>
AWS_DEFAULT_BUCKET=<YOUR_PREFERRED_DEFAULT_BUCKET_HERE>
The environment file can then be sourced when running from docker:
docker run --name cran --rm -d -p 8080:80 --env-file=.env cran-server
