pypiserver

pypiserver is a minimal, self-hosted package index for uploading and downloading Python packages with tools such as pip and easy_install. It serves packages from regular directories, including wheels, bdists, eggs and PGP signatures, and scans those directories recursively. Packages can be uploaded with pip, setuptools, twine or pypi-uploader, or copied to the server with scp. Upload access can be protected with an Apache htpasswd file; API users can configure custom authentication callables. The maintainers advise password protection for uploads, and the documentation recommends a reverse proxy to provide HTTPS. pypiserver can run as a WSGI application, with documented integrations for Docker, nginx, Apache, gunicorn and Paste. It provides a health endpoint that returns HTTP 200 when the service is running, with an option to configure the endpoint. The current version supports Python 3.10+ and PyPy3. It is free at free and is listed for Linux, macOS, Windows, API and self-hosted use. Its API covers the operations needed by common package tools rather than the full PyPI API; documentation uploads are accepted but not saved to disk.
