pyinfra module to deploy xdcstore and xdcget

This repository was moved to https://codeberg.org/webxdc/pyinfra-xstore

This module deploys xdcstore and xdcget.

Prerequisites

To deploy xdcstore and xdcget, you need:

• root SSH access to a linux server (tested with Debian 12)
• an email account for the bot
• a github.com and/or codeberg.org account so the bot can download .xdc files from there; read more about how to create the neccessary API tokens in the documentation.

Use it in python code

This module can be used in a pyinfra deploy.py file like this:

from pyinfra_xdcstore import deploy_xdcstore

deploy_xdcstore(
    unix_user="xdcstore",              # the existing UNIX user of the bot
    bot_email="[email protected]",  # the email address for the bot
    bot_password="p4ssw0rd",           # the password for the bot's email account
    codeberg_user="missytake",         # the username of a codeberg account
    codeberg_token="0987wer09832ru9",  # an API token for the codeberg account
    github_user="missytake",           # the username of a github account
    github_user="983q79mrrrrr9ewum",   # an API token for the github account
)

Deploy with few CLI commands

You can also use this module to deploy xdcstore and xdcget with these few CLI commands:

# install pyinfra, and this module
git clone https://github.com/deltachat/pyinfra-xdcstore
pip install --user .

# configure the bot's credentials
export [email protected]
export XDCSTORE_PASSWORD=p4ssw0rd

# run the deployment
pyinfra --ssh-user root -- <your_server> deploy.py

Additional environment variables you can (and should) use:

XDCGET_UNIX_USER        # as which user on your server you want the bot to run; default: xdcstore
XDCGET_CODEBERG_USER    # the username of a codeberg account
XDCGET_CODEBERG_TOKEN   # an API token for the codeberg account
XDCGET_GITHUB_USER      # the username of a github account
XDCGET_GITHUB_TOKEN     # an API token for the github account
