packaging-server

The packaging-server repository uses quilt-rs to provide an OpenAPI-compatible REST API for creating and managing packages, then publishes that as a public Docker image you can run:

• on your local machine
• in your private cloud
• as part of your SaaS application
• etc.

Fargate CDK Deployment

While you can run the Docker container anywhere, for production use we recommed deploying it to AWS Fargate using the included CDK script.

OpenAPI REST API

The packaging-server REST API is documented by and compatible with OpenAPI. You can view the API documentation by running the server and visiting the /docs endpoint.

Resources

The primary resources are:

• packages for creating and managing packages
  • Format: packages/s3/"bucket"/"prefix"
• objects for managing S3 objects
  • Format: objects/s3/"bucket"[/"prefix"]
• hashes for retrieving the hash of an S3 object
  • Format: hashes/s3/"bucket"/"prefix"[/]
• events for events that trigger package-creation
  • Format: events/s3/"bucket"/"prefix"
• alerts for sending SNS notifications when packages are created
  • Format: alerts/s3/"bucket"/"prefix"

Verbs

These are the HTTP verbs used by the API:

• GET: Retrieve information about the collection, or individual resources
• POST: Create a new resource (error if already exists)
• PATCH: Update an existing resource (error if does not exist)
• PUT: Create or update a resource (always succeeds)

Web Interface

In addition to the REST API, packaging-server also provides a simple web interface for humans to manually interact with those resources.
