Configuring and Adding a Proxy in a Virtual Repository

Configuring a Proxy in a Virtual Repository

Custom proxy repositories allow you to add proxies for open-source and third-party dependency repositories. After files are downloaded from proxy repositories, they can be cached to CodeArts Artifact, speeding up the third-party dependency download speed to that of the local repository.

The proxy settings are available for Maven, npm, Docker, and PyPI in repositories.

In the self-hosted repo, you can add custom mirror sources to the Maven, npm, Docker, and PyPI virtual repositories. To configure a custom mirror source, perform the following procedure:

1. Log in to the CodeArts homepage, click the username in the upper right corner of the page, and choose All Account Settings from the drop-down list.
2. In the navigation pane, choose Mirror > Mirror.
3. Click the Custom tab and click Create Proxy at the upper right corner of the page.
4. In the displayed dialog box, choose the package type, and enter the proxy name (required), proxy repository address (required), PyPI index proxy address (required only if the package type is PyPI), proxy username, and proxy password.
   • The proxy repository address must start with https:// or http://. Otherwise, an error message is displayed, indicating that the URL is invalid.
   • If you do not set the proxy password, the password set last time is used by default.

5. Click OK. The custom proxy source is added.
6. Perform the following operations on a custom proxy source.

   Operation	Description
   Edit	Click in the Operation column to change the proxy name, proxy username, and proxy password.
   Delete	Click in the Operation column to delete the custom proxy source. If the custom proxy source to be deleted has been associated with a self-hosted repo, remove the proxy source on the Proxy Settings page of the corresponding repository and return to this page to delete the proxy source.
