FR: Uploading packages via HTTP

[volker-raschek]

Hello,
I am looking for a HTTP server for Arch packages that works similar to chartmuseum. Since there is already a HTTP mirror for Arch packages with pacoloco I wanted to ask if it would be possible to extend it so that it is possible to upload packages via HTTP. My requirements would be:

• HTTP API
• update of the repository database
• Multitanent capability
• Delivery via container image

If there is already something I am quite interested in a solution.

Well, it would be quite a lot of work as you asked.

I wanted to ask if it would be possible to extend it so that it is possible to upload packages via HTTP. My requirements would be:
* HTTP API

Well, if you see the problem the other way around, it could be much easier. If you run a http(s) server with the packages and a db file (which is up to you on updating it as soon as you add a package), you can download them through pacoloco.

* update of the repository database

Otherwise, if you place the proper files locally where pacoloco does cache its packages, they will be served as is when they will be requested. It is pacman's job to check their signature.

* Multitenant capability

If you mean that pacoloco should be able to serve multiple clients at the same time, this is a WIP right now, there are some open issues about it

* Delivery via container image

Well, it's on the readme.
