# Shadowmire
|
|
|
|
Shadowmire syncs PyPI (or plain HTTP(S) PyPI mirrors using Shadowmire) with a lightweight and easy approach.
|
|
|
|
## Docs
|
|
|
|
### Background
|
|
|
|
Bandersnatch is the recommended solution to sync from PyPI. However, it has these 2 issues that haven't been solved for a long time:
|
|
|
|
- Bandersnatch does not support removing packages that have been removed from upstream, making it easier to be the target of supply chain attack.
|
|
- The upstream must implement [XML-RPC APIs](https://warehouse.pypa.io/api-reference/xml-rpc.html#mirroring-support), which is not acceptable for most mirror sites.
|
|
|
|
Shadowmire is a light solution to these issues.
|
|
|
|
### Syncing Protocol
|
|
|
|
#### From PyPI
|
|
|
|
PyPI's XML-RPC APIs have `list_packages_with_serial()` method to list ALL packages with "serial" (you could consider it as a version integer that just increases every few moments). `changelog_last_serial()` and `changelog_since_serial()` are NOT used as they could not handle package deletion. Local packages not in the list result are removed.
|
|
|
|
Results from `list_packages_with_serial()` are stored in `remote.json`. `local.db` is a sqlite database which just stores every local package name and its local serial. `local.json` is dumped from `local.db` for downstream cosumption.
|
|
|
|
#### From upstream using shadowmire
|
|
|
|
Obviously, `list_packages_with_serial()`'s alternative is the `local.json`, which could be easily served by any HTTP server. Don't use `local.db`, as it could have consistency issues when shadowmire upstream is syncing.
|
|
|
|
### How to use
|
|
|
|
> [!IMPORTANT]
|
|
> Shadowmire is still in experimental state. Please consider take a snapshot before using (if you're using ZFS/BtrFS), to avoid Shadowmire eating all you packages in accident.
|
|
|
|
If you just need to fetch all indexes (and then use a cache solution for packages):
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
REPO=/path/to/pypi ./shadowmire.py sync
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If `REPO` env is not set, it defaults to current working directory.
|
|
|
|
If you need to download all packages, add `--sync-packages`.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
./shadowmire.py sync --sync-packages
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> [!IMPORTANT]
|
|
> If you sync with indexes only first, `--sync-packages` would NOT update packages which have been the latest versions. Use `verify` command for this.
|
|
|
|
Sync command also supports `--exclude` -- you could give multiple regexes like this:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
./shadowmire.py sync --exclude package1 --exclude ^0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Also it supports prerelease filtering like [this](https://bandersnatch.readthedocs.io/en/latest/filtering_configuration.html#prerelease-filtering):
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
./shadowmire.py sync --sync-packages --prerelease-exclude '^duckdb$'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And `--shadowmire-upstream`, if you don't want to sync from PyPI directly.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
./shadowmire.py sync --shadowmire-upstream http://example.com/pypi/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you already have a pypi repo, use `genlocal` first to generate a local db:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
./shadowmire.py genlocal
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
> [!IMPORTANT]
|
|
> You shall have file `json/<package_name>` before `genlocal`.
|
|
|
|
Verify command could be used if you believe that something is wrong (inconsistent). It would:
|
|
|
|
1. remove packages NOT in local db
|
|
2. remove packages NOT in remote (with consideration of `--exclude`)
|
|
3. make sure all local indexes are valid, and (if --sync-packages) have valid local package files
|
|
|
|
(`--prerelease-exclude` would be ignored)
|
|
4. delete unreferenced files in `packages` folder
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
./shadowmire.py verify --sync-packages
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Verify command accepts same arguments as sync.
|
|
|
|
Also, if you need debugging, you could use `do-update` and `do-remove` command to operate on a single package.
