pypiserver – service

Last Edited: 8/9/2024

Please note I placed my directory I am using for the packages at /opt/packages

This presumes you have install pypiserver. If you didn’t it is done with:

pip install pypiserver

This can build your system service entry.

cat <<EOF | sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/pypiserver.service
[Unit]
    After=network.target

 [Service]
    Type=simple
    ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/pypi-server run -p 8080 /opt/packages
    WorkingDirectory=/opt/packages
    TimeoutStartSec=3

[Install]
    WantedBy=multi-user.target
EOF

Remember you will need to reload system daemon.

 sudo systemctl daemon-reload

The service may be started in the following fashion.

sudo systemctl start pypiserver

When checking status

systemctl status pypiserver

PRO TIP: And you might want to remember to “enable” the service so that it automatically starts when the server is restarted

systemctl enable pypiserver.service
