Upload and Manage Content

Content can be added to a repository not only by synchronizing from a remote source but also by uploading the files directly into Pulp.

Create a repository

If you don't already have a repository, create one.

# Start by creating a new repository named "foo":
pulp python repository create --name foo

{
   "pulp_href": "/pulp/api/v3/repositories/python/python/8fbb24ee-dc91-44f4-a6ee-beec60aa542d/",
   "pulp_created": "2021-03-09T04:11:54.347921Z",
   "versions_href": "/pulp/api/v3/repositories/python/python/8fbb24ee-dc91-44f4-a6ee-beec60aa542d/versions/",
   "pulp_labels": {},
   "latest_version_href": "/pulp/api/v3/repositories/python/python/8fbb24ee-dc91-44f4-a6ee-beec60aa542d/versions/0/",
   "name": "foo",
   "description": null,
   "remote": null
 }

Upload a file to Pulp

Each artifact in Pulp represents a file. They can be created during sync or created manually by uploading a file.

# Get a Python package or choose your own
curl -O https://fixtures.pulpproject.org/python-pypi/packages/shelf-reader-0.1.tar.gz
export PKG="shelf-reader-0.1.tar.gz"

# Upload it to Pulp
pulp python content upload --relative-path "$PKG" --file "$PKG"

Add content to a repository

Once there is a content unit, it can be added and removed from repositories using the add and remove commands

# Add created PythonPackage content to repository
pulp python repository content add --repository foo --filename "shelf-reader-0.1.tar.gz"

# After the task is complete, it gives us a new repository version
pulp python repository version show --repository foo
