Warning
This plugin is considered experimental!
This plugin adds a PostgreSQL storage backend for devpi-server.
devpi-postgresql needs to be installed alongside devpi-server.
You can install it with:
pip install devpi-postgresql
When using the PostgreSQL storage, devpi-server expects an empty database.
You have to create one like this: createdb devpi
Upon first initialization of devpi-server use --storage pg8000 to select the PostgreSQL backend.
By default it'll use the devpi database on localhost port 5432.
To change that, use storage pg8000:host=example.com,port=5433,database=devpi_prod.
The possible settings are: database, host, port, unix_sock, user and password
All user/index files and metadata of devpi-server are stored in the database.
A few things and settings are still stored as files in the directory specified by --serverdir.
Plugins like devpi-web don't or can't use the storage backend.
They still handle their own storage.
