RPM Package Registry

Publish RPM packages for your user or organization.

Requirements

To work with the RPM registry, you need to use a package manager like yum or dnf to consume packages.

The following examples use dnf.

Configuring the package registry using dnf5

To register the RPM registry add the url to the list of known sources:

dnf config-manager addrepo --from-repofile=https://forgejo.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/{group}.repo

Example:

# without a group
dnf config-manager addrepo --from-repofile=https://forgejo.example.com/api/packages/testuser/rpm.repo

# with the group 'centos/el7'
dnf config-manager addrepo --from-repofile=https://forgejo.example.com/api/packages/testuser/rpm/centos/el7.repo

If the registry is private, provide credentials in the url. You can use a personal access token:

dnf config-manager addrepo --from-repofile=https://{username}:{your_token}@forgejo.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/{group}.repo

You have to add the credentials to the urls in the created .repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d too.

dnf config-manager --add-repo https://forgejo.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/{group}.repo

# without a group
dnf config-manager --add-repo https://forgejo.example.com/api/packages/testuser/rpm.repo

# with the group 'centos/el7'
dnf config-manager --add-repo https://forgejo.example.com/api/packages/testuser/rpm/centos/el7.repo

dnf config-manager --add-repo https://{username}:{your_token}@forgejo.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/{group}.repo

Publish a package

To publish a RPM package (*.rpm), perform a HTTP PUT operation with the package content in the request body.

PUT https://forgejo.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/rpm/{group}/upload

Example request using HTTP Basic authentication:

# without a group
curl --user your_username:your_token \
     --upload-file path/to/file.rpm \
     https://forgejo.example.com/api/packages/testuser/rpm/upload
# with the group 'centos/el7'
curl --user your_username:your_token \
     --upload-file path/to/file.rpm \
     https://forgejo.example.com/api/packages/testuser/rpm/centos/el7/upload

You cannot publish a file with the same name twice to a package. You must delete the existing package version first.

The server responds with the following HTTP Status codes.

Delete a package

To delete a RPM package perform a HTTP DELETE operation. This will delete the package version too if there is no file left.

DELETE https://forgejo.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/rpm/{group}/package/{package_name}/{package_version}/{architecture}

Example request using HTTP Basic authentication:

# without a group
curl --user your_username:your_token -X DELETE \
     https://forgejo.example.com/api/packages/testuser/rpm/package/test-package/1.0.0/x86_64

# with the group 'centos/el7'
curl --user your_username:your_token -X DELETE \
     https://forgejo.example.com/api/packages/testuser/rpm/centos/el7/package/test-package/1.0.0/x86_64

The server responds with the following HTTP Status codes.

Install a package

To install a package from the RPM registry, execute the following commands:

# use latest version
dnf install {package_name}
# use specific version
dnf install {package_name}-{package_version}.{architecture}
