Description

The module uses the available backend implementations to manage a release repository. The settings for the selected backend are saved in the configuration file repository.json.

Backends

filesystem The backend uses a directory to store and manage all release files. For this purpose, an index file is used to store which are available in the repository. A subdirectory is created for each and the individual release files are stored in it. The naming scheme for the files is <package name>-<version>.zip. The settings for the base directory and the name of the index file are defined in the repository.json file.

• directory: Base directory for the release repository
  • indexFile: Name of the index file

:

  {
    "directory": "/data/best4Automic/repository",
    "indexFile": ".package.idx"
  }
