Serving your Mirror

So if you’ve had a successful bandersnatch mirror run, you’re now ready to serve your mirror. Any webserver can do this, as long as it can serve the simple HTML and packages directory that the HTML links to.

BanderX

banderx is a very simple NGINX docker image with a sample config included. The example only does HTTP and expects you to do your own HTTPS/TLS elsewhere.

  • Default config is not setup for hash_index = true synced bandersnatch mirror

    • The hash_index serving config is in the example config and needs to be uncommented

    • It also sets the correct JSON MIME type for /json + /pypi

Docker Build

  • cd src/banderx

  • docker build -t banderx .

Docker Run

  • docker run --name bandersnatch_nginx --mount type=bind,source=/data/pypi/web,target=/data/pypi/web banderx

  • For custom config add:

    • --mount type=bind,source=$PWD/nginx.conf,target=/config/nginx.conf

Bind Mount Nginx Config

If you want a different nginx config bind mount to:

  • /config/nginx.conf

The config defaults for the mirror to be bind mounted to:

  • /data/pypi/web
