pydeb-s3 0.2.0

A simple utility to make creating and managing APT repositories on S3

pydeb-s3

pydeb-s3 is a Python port of deb-s3, a simple utility to make creating and managing APT repositories on S3.

Most existing guides on using S3 to host an APT repository have you using something like reprepro to generate the repository file structure, and then s3cmd to sync the files to S3.

The annoying thing about this process is it requires you to maintain a local copy of the file tree for regenerating and syncing the next time. Personally, my process is to use one-off virtual machines with Vagrant, script out the build process, and then would prefer to just upload the final .deb from my Mac.

With pydeb-s3, there is no need for this. pydeb-s3 features:

• Downloads the existing package manifest and parses it.
• Updates it with the new package, replacing the existing entry if already there or adding a new one if not.
• Uploads the package itself, the Packages manifest, and the Packages.gz manifest. It will skip the uploading if the package is already there.
• Updates the Release file with the new hashes and file sizes.

Getting Started

Install the package via pip:

$ pip install pydeb-s3

Now to upload a package, simply use:

$ pydeb-s3 upload --bucket my-bucket my-deb-package-1.0.0_amd64.deb
>> Examining package file my-deb-package-1.0.0_amd64.deb
>> Retrieving existing package manifest
>> Uploading package and new manifests to S3
   -- Transferring pool/m/my/my-deb-package-1.0.0_amd64.deb
   -- Transferring dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages
   -- Transferring dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz
   -- Transferring dists/stable/Release
>> Update complete.

For Google Cloud Storage (or other S3-compatible endpoints) you need to disable SDK checksum negotiation headers and set visibility settings to nil:

$ pydeb-s3 upload --bucket my-bucket --endpoint https://storage.googleapis.com --checksum-when-required --visibility nil my-deb-package-1.0.0_amd64.deb

Configuration

AWS Credentials

pydeb-s3 supports multiple methods for AWS credentials:

1. Command-line options:

   • --access-key-id and --secret-access-key
   • --session-token (for temporary credentials)

2. Environment variables:

   • AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
   • AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
   • AWS_DEFAULT_REGION

3. AWS Config file: Uses standard boto3 credential resolution

S3 Bucket

The --bucket option is required for all commands.

Visibility

The --visibility option controls ACL on uploaded files:

• public (default) - public-read
• private - private
• authenticated - authenticated-read
• nil - do not set ACL (for buckets without ACL support)

Example S3 IAM Policy

    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": ["s3:ListBucket"],
            "Resource": ["arn:aws:s3:::BUCKETNAME"]
        },
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [

                "s3:GetObject",
                "s3:DeleteObject",
                "s3:DeleteObjectVersion",
                "s3:GetObjectAcl",
                "s3:GetObjectVersionAcl",
                "s3:PutObjectAcl",
