alexandrie | An alternative crate registry , implemented in Rust | DevOps library

Alexandrie is built using Tide and offers multiple options to be used as its database. To build, you can run cargo build [--release]. Before running it, you need to configure your instance in the alexandrie.toml file.
Edit or create the ~/.cargo/config file, and add the following code: # Replace the '<...>' placeholders by their real actual values. [registries.<name-of-your-registry>] index = "<url-of-the-crate-index>" # <name-of-your-registry>: A name of your choosing, that you'll be using to refer to it in `cargo` commands. # <url-of-the-crate-index>: URL to the git repository serving as the registry's crate index. # BE CAREFUL: this is not the URL to the registry's API or frontend.
Then, run cargo login --registry <name-of-your-registry> and enter your author token. To generate a token, you need to register as an author first. You can do this using the frontend by: Registering at /account/register. Generating a token at /account/manage.
You can now use the registry using cargo [search|publish] --registry <name-of-your-registry>
