Convenient command line Aptly API client

aptly-ctl -- Convenient aptly API client

aptly-ctl is a command line tool for managing aplty repositories remotely via API. This tool tries to group most common repository operations into composite ones, more convenient for humans, and maintain ability to perform any atomic API request at the same time. aptly-ctl is built upon aptly-api-client library and MIT licensed.

Features

• put subcommand uploads deb package to aptly instance, adds it to specified local repo and updates all publishes that depend on that local repo;
• remove subcommand removes deb packages from local repos and updates publishes that depend on those repos;
• search subcommand is self-explanatory. Is searches using aptly package query format;
• copy subcommand copies packages between local repos and updates dependent publishes;
• repo and publish subcommand are intended to perform atomic API operations like creation, deletion etc.

Installation

$ pip3 install aptly-ctl

or from source code directory

$ python3 setup.py install

Usage

aptly-ctl has the following config format:

profiles:
  - name: local
    url: http://localhost:8090/api
    signing:
      gpgkey: "DC3CFE1DD8562BB86BF3845A4E15F887476CCCE0"
      passphrase: "secret"
  - name: remote
    url: http://user:password@remote:8090/api
    signing:
      gpgkey: "[e-mail]"
      passphrase_file: "/etc/aptly/gpg_pass"
    signing_overrides:
      "./stretch":
        skip: true

Each profile element describes configuration for one aptly instance. By default, aptly-ctl uses the first one listed. To select profile, use -p or --profile argument to select by position (e.g. -p 0, --profile 1), by name (e.g. --profile local) or by partial name match (-p l or -p r would suffice for this case). url is an aplty API endpoint to connect to. signing is a default signing config. It may contain

• skip -- skip signing at all. Default: true;
• batch -- enable batch mode used when passing passphraze. Generally you want it always true. Default: true;
• gpgkey -- gpg key name (key fingerprint or email). No default;
• keyring -- gpg keyring file name local to server. Default: gpg defaults;
• secret_keyring -- gpg secret keyring file name local to server. Default: gpg defaults;
• passphrase -- gpg key passphrase. No default;
• passphrase_file -- gpg passphrase file local to server. No default.

signing_overrides dictionary is optional and used to override default signing config for some publishes. Specify publish in form [<storage>:]<prefix>/<distribution>. Root prefix is .. Configuration is the same as for signing.

To specify config location use -c argument, or save it in one of the following locations (using the first found, searching from the first to the last):

1. $HOME/aptly-ctl.yml;
2. $HOME/aptly-ctl.yaml;
3. $HOME/aptly-ctl.conf;
4. $HOME/.aptly-ctl.yml;
5. $HOME/.aptly-ctl.yaml;
6. $HOME/.aptly-ctl.conf;
7. $HOME/.config/aptly-ctl.yml;
8. $HOME/.config/aptly-ctl.yaml;
9. $HOME/.config/aptly-ctl.conf;
10. /etc/aptly-ctl.yml;
11. /etc/aptly-ctl.yaml;
12. /etc/aptly-ctl.conf.

If aptly-ctl cannot find config in listed locations, you can specify configuration keys on command line and still have a valid config which allows to run aptly-ctl without config at all. Specify them usging -C <key>=<value> argument, where <key> components are separated by a dot e.g.

$ aptly-ctl -C "url=http://localhost:8090/api" -C "signing.skip=true" repo list

Some aptly-ctl subcommands print to STDOUT output parsable by other subcommands. Check out subcommand's --help to get some hints on how to use it in conjunction with other ones.
