Custom Filesystem Publishing REST

[Pablo DePaulis]

Hi,

  I've been trying to get the syntax correct for a custom filesystem publishing but doesn't seem to work, at least not using curl.

Version: aptly version: 1.5.0+ds1-1+b4 on Debian 12

So, I have something like this as custom filesystem for publishing:

```

"FileSystemPublishEndpoints": {
   "FPBX17-qa-web": {
   "rootDir": "/var/www/html/FPBX17-qa",
   "linkMethod": "hardlink",
   "verifyMethod": ""
}

```

and I have a local "aptly-repo"

and the curl post is as follows:

```

$ curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '{"SourceKind":"local","Sources":[{"Name":"aptly-repo"}],"Architectures":["all","amd64"],"Distribution":"bookworm"}' http://localhost:8080/api/publish/filesystem:FPBX17-qa-web

```

and I get NO error

I also tried just changing the URL: http://localhost:8080/api/publish/.:FPBX17-qa-web

but nothing gets posted, i.e. this comes empty:

```
$ curl http://localhost:8080/api/publish
[]

```

btw, it actually work with an S3 bucket using the S3: syntax as in the document, but for some reason the custom filesystem syntax with RESTful I haven't been able to figure out.

Any help is appreciated!

Happy Thanksgiving those in the US!

Thx, Pablo

Ok so, I think I got it working by just adding a "prefix" to the URL, i.e. the json data is the same as shown in my previous message, but the URL now changed to:

http://localhost:8080/api/publish/filesystem:FPBX17-qa-web:my-prefix

Of course that is just a dummy prefix, but the point being, it appears one must pass a prefix.

The response will give an output like this:

[{"AcquireByHash":false,"Architectures":["all","amd64"],"ButAutomaticUpgrades":"","Distribution":"bookworm","Label":"","NotAutomatic":"","Origin":"","Path":"filesystem:FPBX17-qa-web:fpbx17/bookworm","Prefix":"my-prefix","SkipContents":false,"SourceKind":"local","Sources":[{"Component":"main","Name":"aptly-repo"}],"Storage":"filesystem:FPBX17-qa-web","Suite":""}]

I can see the packages from the repo become accessible via the, in this case: http://localhost/FPBX17-qa/

I can also drop it with

curl -X DELETE  http://localhost:8080/api/publish/filesystem:FPBX17-qa-web:my-prefix/bookworm

Hope it helps!
