galactory 0.7.0

Ansible Galaxy proxy using Artifactory as a backend

galactory

galactory is An Ansible Galaxy proxy for Artifactory.

Using an Artifactory Generic repository as its backend, galactory implements a limited subset of the Galaxy v2 API to allow for installing and publishing collections.

It can also be set up to transparently proxy an upstream Galaxy server, storing the pulled artifacts in Artifactory, to be served as local artifacts from then on. This helps avoid throttling errors on busy CI systems, and allows for internal/private collections to declare dependencies on upstream collections (dependencies will only be installed from the same Galaxy server where a collection was installed from).

Artifactory compatibility

For the time being some features may require an Artifactory Pro license. Work is being done to workaround the (many) limitations that JFrog has placed on API calls. These limitations have also complicated the ability to run integration tests. As a result, the test of whether all Pro license dependent API calls have been rooted out, will be whether test coverage exists that can run against Artifactory OSS.

How to use

There isn't any proper documentation yet. The help output is below.

Pulling out this bit about configuration for emphasis:

Args that start with -- (eg. --listen-addr) can also be set in a config file (/etc/galactory.d/*.conf or ~/.galactory/*.conf or specified via -c). Config file syntax allows:

• key=value
• flag=true
• stuff=[a,b,c] (for details, see DefaultConfigFileParser syntax at https://github.com/bw2/ConfigArgParse#config-file-syntax).

If an arg is specified in more than one place, then commandline values override environment variables which override config file values which override defaults.

defaults < config < environment variables < command line (last one found wins)

usage: python -m galactory [-h] [-c CONFIG] [--listen-addr LISTEN_ADDR]
                           [--listen-port LISTEN_PORT] [--server-name SERVER_NAME]

Args that start with '--' (eg. --listen-addr) can also be set in a config file
(/etc/galactory.d/*.conf or ~/.galactory/*.conf or specified via -c). Config file syntax allows:
key=value, flag=true, stuff=[a,b,c] (for details, see syntax at https://goo.gl/R74nmi). If an arg
is specified in more than one place, then commandline values override environment variables which
override config file values which override defaults.
