They're running a business. They offer an inordinate amount of service totally free to millions of developers, and they make their actual client open-source for your pleasure. Is your argument they also have to go to the trouble of making their infrastructure easily self-hosted? How would they make the money to pay the lawyers to respond to the very legal threat this tweet is about without revenue?
- iooi 8y agoPlease, it's arbitrary to run a private PyPi repository, all you need is a web server and a certain folder structure. If you want, you can even host everything on a private S3 and use a tiny Nginx configuration to authenticate the requests on behalf of pip [1]. Private npm repositories are an entirely different beast, and like GP mentions, there is no great option here. [1] https://www.guido.nyc/pypi-s3/ https://www.guido.nyc/pypi-s3/
