cargo-http-registry
is a cargo registry allowing for quick publishing
of crates when using crates.io
is just not desired.
The application can be used to host a local registry to which crates can
be published. Publishing of crates happens over a regular HTTP based API
and can be interfaced with through regular cargo publish
command.
Crates are stored on the file system and no registry is necessary for
accessing them.
To set up a local registry just run cargo-http-registry
and provide
a path to the registry's root directory:
$ cargo-http-registry /tmp/my-registry
The directory will be created if it does not exist and is populated as needed.
By default, the registry will listen only locally on 127.0.0.1
, but
command line options allow for overwriting this setting.
To make cargo
aware of this registry, it needs to be made known in a
cargo
configuration file. The registry can be accessed
via the local file system (by specifying the path to it) or over HTTP.
The HTTP address and port can be found in the registry's config.json
(e.g., /tmp/my-registry/config.json
in the example; refer to the api
key contents).
Then open your ~/.cargo/config.toml
(or a per-project configuration) and
add the following lines:
[registries]
my-registry = { index = "http://127.0.0.1:35503/git" }
# Alternatively, access it via path:
my-registry = { index = "file:///tmp/my-registry" }
Also note that for HTTP access, you will need to enable the
net.git-fetch-with-cli
setting. That can be
accomplished via config.toml
as well, for example by adding:
[net]
git-fetch-with-cli = true
With that, you can now publish your crates to the registry and pull them from it.
$ cargo publish --registry my-registry

The created registry does not require any token checks. As such, if
being asked to cargo login
to the registry, any string may be used.
You can also adjust the crate to only allow publishing to a certain
registry, which will prevent accidental pushes to crates.io

Note that cargo-http-registry
is not meant to be a cargo
subcommand
and cannot be used as such.
Note furthermore that the registry is meant to be used in a trusted setting, such as on a single computer or local home network. The reason being that, by design, it does not have any authentication scheme present and no attempts of hardening the code have been undertaken.
To run the registry in a Docker container:
docker run -p 35504:35504 ghcr.io/d-e-s-o/cargo-http-registry:latest /tmp/test-registry --addr 0.0.0.0:35504
To run cargo-http-registry
in a docker compose file:
version: "3"
services:
registry:
image: ghcr.io/d-e-s-o/cargo-http-registry:latest
container_name: cargo-registry
restart: always
# Arguments:
# - Directory where the registry will store its data.
# Cargo-http-registry creates the directory if it does not exist.
# - Server address.
# Note that 127.0.0.1 doesn't work in GitHub actions.
# Use 0.0.0.0 instead.
