Private pub server implementation (Speakeasy)

[Don Olmstead]

I started work on a private pub server implementation off of the pub_api called Speakeasy, https://github.com/donny-dont/speakeasy. Its meant for corporate deployments for use cases like wanting to publish private packages, or for CI to have a caching server right next to the CI system which improves latency and handles the rare case where pub.dartlang.org is down.

Its early days, the current implementation just took out the examples directory in pub_api and then started adding configuration options. I wanted to get a read on what people would want out of a private pub server in terms of configuration. Currently I'm following Sinopia, https://github.com/rlidwka/sinopia, a private NPM registry which I've had a lot of success with at work. I was wondering what people's use cases were for something like this and what features you might like to see. One big thing I think is missing from pub currently is the ability to add webhooks so I wanted to add that capability to Speakeasy. Other than that I'm pretty open to ideas and collaborators.

Any feedback is appreciated!

Thanks!

Don

Thanks! I thought it was clever :)

Great idea (and awesome name)!

I would definitely use a private pub server. I have got a few questions:
While I think the answer will be yes, do you plan on supporting package versioning for private packages?
Will it be a drop-in replacement for pub?
What steps can the Speakeasy administrator take to make sure that the source code won't get published by accident?

Thanks,

Daniel

You can prevent accidental publishing

Instead of 'none' you can specify a server where the package is allowed to be published.

Not sure this is what you are asking for.

Right what Gunter said for preventing public publishing. You'd just want that in your pubspec and you're good to go.

In terms of versioning it does support it out of the box as I'm piggybacking on https://github.com/dart-lang/pub_server which is what the pub server uses in the wild. The problem with running a server on your own is that there's a dependence on app engine which is not what you want for an on prem install.
