Artifact server
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The project you build will often specify a :ref:`remote artifact cache
<artifacts>` already, but you may want to specify extra caches. There are two
ways to do this. You can add one or more global caches:
Although project's often specify a :ref:`remote artifact cache <artifacts>` in
their ``project.conf``, you may also want to specify extra caches.
**Example**
Assuming that your host/server is reachable on the internet as ``artifacts.com``
(for example), there are two ways to declare remote caches in your user
configuration:
1. Adding global caches:
.. code:: yaml
#
# Artifacts
#
artifacts:
url: https://artifacts.com/artifacts
# Add a cache to pull from
- url: https://artifacts.com/artifacts:11001
server-cert: server.crt
# Add a cache to push/pull to/from
- url: https://artifacts.com/artifacts:11002
server-cert: server.crt
client-cert: client.crt
client-key: client.key
push: true
# Add another cache to pull from
- url: https://anothercache.com/artifacts:8080
server-cert: another_server.crt
.. note::
Caches listed there will be considered lower priority than those specified
by the project configuration.
Caches declared here will be used by **all** BuildStream project's on the user's
machine and are considered a lower priority than those specified in the project
configuration.
You can also add project-specific caches:
**Example**
2. Specifying caches for a specific project within the user configuration:
.. code:: yaml
projects:
project-name:
artifacts:
- url: https://artifacts.com/artifacts1
- url: ssh://user@artifacts.com/artifacts2
# Add a cache to pull from
- url: https://artifacts.com/artifacts:11001
server-cert: server.crt
# Add a cache to push/pull to/from
- url: https://artifacts.com/artifacts:11002
server-cert: server.crt
client-cert: client.crt
client-key: client.key
push: true
# Add another cache to pull from
- url: https://ourprojectcache.com/artifacts:8080
server-cert: project_server.crt
.. note::
Caches listed here will be considered a higher priority than those specified
by the project. Furthermore, for a given list of URLs, earlier entries will
have higher priority.
Notice that the use of different ports for the same server distinguishes between
pull only access and push/pull access. For information regarding this and the
server/client certificates and keys, please see:
:ref:`Key pair for the server <server_authentication>`.
Caches listed here will be considered higher priority than those specified
by the project.
If you give a list of URLs, earlier entries in the list will have higher
priority than later ones.
