This topic describes how to create a Conda Repository. This is required before publishing and installing Conda packages. There are three primary types of repositories:
Local repositories: Where you store and share 1st and 2nd party packages with your organization
Remote repositories: Enable you to download from any remote location, including external package registries or other Artifactory instances
Virtual repositories: Enable aggregating remote and local repositories, enabling your organization to scale by providing a single URL that provides access to multiple repositories and types
For more information on JFrog repositories, see Repository Management Overview.
Prerequisite: You need Admin or Project Admin permissions to create a Conda repository. If you don't have Admin permissions, the option will not be available.
To create a Conda repository:
In the Administration tab, click Repositories | Create a Repository
Select the repository type you want to create, configure the required fields (described in the following list), then click Create Repository.
For Local Repositories, in the Repository Key field, type a meaningful name for the repository. For example,
conda-local-repository-1. For more information on local repositories and all their possible settings, see Local Repositories.For Remote Repositories, additionally, verify the Repository URL and update if needed. For more information on Remote Repositories and all their possible settings, see Remote Repositories.
Note
The index files for remote Conda repositories are stored and renewed according to the Retrieval Cache Period setting on your remote repository.
For Virtual Repositories, additionally select one or more local or remote repository types to include in the virtual repository. For more information on virtual repositories and all their possible settings, see Virtual Repositories.
Virtual Repository Metadata
Artifactory maintains your aggregated virtual repository metadata in a clever way that keeps your metadata up-to-date by reflecting changes in the aggregated local repositories in real-time. For aggregated remote repositories, the virtual repository metadata is renewed on demand, in minimal intervals of 10 minutes by default. The renewal period is controlled using the Retrieval Cache Period parameter of your virtual repository.
Click Create Repository. The repository is created, and the Repositories window is displayed.
