Upcoming major releases
by Florian Schulze June 2, 2019

June 2, 2019

Hi! A heads up for the changes in upcoming major releases of devpi-client and devpi-server: devpi-client 5.0.0 ================== Deprecations and Removals ------------------------- - removed deprecated "quickstart" command. Features -------- - decoupled the functional tests from devpi-server and run devpi-server in a Python 3 virtualenv when testing with Python 2.7. Other Changes ------------- - The selection of the Python interpreter used for ``devpi upload`` has changed. If used the new ``-p/--python`` option has priority, then a currently activated virtualenv, lastly the ``sys.executable`` under which devpi is running. devpi-server 5.0.0 ================== Deprecations and Removals ------------------------- - fix #518: There are no URLs on PyPI anymore that need to be scraped or crawled, so the code for that was removed. - removed support for long deprecated ``acl_upload`` and ``bases`` mirror index option. They were only kept for compatibility with devpi-client <= 2.4.1. - removed long deprecated ``pypi_whitelist`` index option. It was only kept for compatibility with devpi-client <= 2.4.1. - deprecated Python 2.7 support. This is the last major version supporting Python 2.7. For upgrading to Python 3.x you have to export your data using your current setup with Python 2.7 and import it in a new installation with Python 3.x. Other Changes ------------- - major releases don't require an export/import cycle anymore except when explicitly announced. You should always make a backup though! When upgrading to devpi-server 5.0.0 you can keep the state as is and even downgrade to the last 4.9.x release if necessary. Don't forget to backup before upgrades! - the --storage option is now required when a storage plugin like devpi-postgresql is in use. It's recommended to use a configuration file for devpi-server to have everything in one place. Regards, Florian Schulze

Devpi Server
by Alfons Casalé May 28, 2019

May 28, 2019

Dear, My name is Alfons, and I am interested in the devpi server. We would like to install it permanently in a remote server, but we have problems with the server configuration. Our problem is that we can not connect with the server, the response is always "connection refused". We are using a Linux server with Apache, and we check it, and we don't have any firewall configured. Also, we have configured the allowed host as 0.0.0.0 to accept all connections. May you could help us to configure it, our give us some advisor. We understood that is not necessary to use the nginx, but is necessary to use supervisor? Do you know another tutorial or detailed guide? Thank you for your time, Alfons

Monitoring/Prometheus
by Florian Schulze April 5, 2019

April 5, 2019

Hi! I'm currently reading up on monitoring and specifically Prometheus. I'm thinking of adding instrumentation to devpi and create a devpi-prometheus plugin for exposition. The instrumentation is pretty lightweight and shouldn't affect anyone who won't use it. Has anyone here used Prometheus and can provide some insights on what kind of metrics would be useful? Maybe someone has pointers to other Python/Pyramid software which already added that? Regards, Florian Schulze

postgres devpi
by Kevin Patterson March 19, 2019

March 19, 2019

I was curious if anyone was using the devpi-postgresql package in a live/heavy use environment. It still carries the experimental warning, so figured I'd ask here before diving too deep :-) We were working with an internal cloud deployment suite and it seemed that the sqlite with smb mounts was not very reliable....so we were considering a switch to this postgres module if possible Or any other ideas for cloud deployments where the database needs to be remote from the app? Thanks! Kevin

Authentication secret sharing with replicas
by Florian Schulze March 19, 2019

March 19, 2019

Hi! Please see the following ticket about an issue I discovered with the authentication secret of a devpi-server and it's replicas. So far this didn't matter, but there are certain scenarios and plugin ideas where it will be a problem. Anyone deploying replicas and cares about security (hopefully everyone) is welcome to help come up with a solution. https://github.com/devpi/devpi/issues/637 Regards, Florian Schulze
