REPOSITORIES: How Can a Remote PyPi Repository Be Configured to Work as a Private PyPi Server?

Subject

This article will explain the correct configuration for a remote repository that points to a private PyPi server.

Description

If you will leave the Registry URL with the default – https://pypi.org you will encounter issues when trying to fetch artifacts.
In order to configure a remote repository that points to a privately hosted PyPi server, you will need to configure both the URL and the Registry URL to point to the same location – the PyPi server address that you configured in your server. For example – if you configure your server to run with the address http://pypi-hosted:9091, the configuration will be:
URL – http://pypi-hosted:9091 
Registry URL – http://pypi-hosted:9091
