bandersnatch VS traefik

2) https://github.com/pypa/bandersnatch//issues/1200#issuecomme...

My work has an isolated network that developers write applications to run inside of. These developers often write Python code. This Python code often requires modules from the Python Package Index (PyPi) to be downloaded using something like pip. In order to allow these developers to run their software on this isolated network, I need to provide them with a PyPi mirror so they can get the modules their software depends upon. To accomplish this, I setup a bandersnatch mirror on a VM in my DMZ and configured our VMs to use this mirror instead of the (unreachable from their perspective) internet. So far, so good.

It looks like DevPi may just work as a caching proxy as well. I also found Bandersnatch too. https://github.com/pypa/bandersnatch which is a configurable mirror with allow / block lists.

Essentially want something like DevPi but add the package to the bandersnatch allow list and mirror it from then on. With some extra large packages in the deny list.

Probably possible to wire that all up reasonably well, but probably just using a caching proxy is 90%+ of the improvement anyways. So may just stick with that.

Whatever is available on PyPI can be installed using pip install. Though it is important to check the package is legit and safe before installing. It is possible to host your own private repository using bandersnatch, nexus or using gitlab among others.

Pronounced "traffic", Traefik is a modern HTTP reverse proxy and load balancer aimed at making deploying microservices easier. It integrates with your existing infrastructure components such as Docker, Kubernetes, and others, and configures itself automatically and dynamically. The latest version adds lots of new options and enhancements such as adding healthcheck options, support for custom headers, and more. Read the migration guide on how to update to the latest version which is now required due to breaking changes.

However, it's very unlikely that .NET developers will directly expose their Kestrel-based web apps to the internet. Typically, we use other popular web servers like Nginx, Traefik, and Caddy to act as a reverse-proxy in front of Kestrel for various reasons:

Not as good though. Case in point: https://github.com/traefik/traefik/issues/5472#issuecomment-... (that's just from this morning)

I'm speak objectively here. Of course, any built-in auto HTTPS that works (more or less) is better than none. Traefik uses an ACME library that was originally written for Caddy. After the original author left that project, Traefik team started maintaining it. Caddy's users' requirements exceeded what the library was capable of, but unfortunately there was friction in getting it to achieve our requirements. So I ended up writing a new ACME client library in Go and, together with upgrades in CertMagic (Caddy's auto-TLS lib), Caddy has the more flexible, robust, and capable auto-HTTPS functionality.

That is to say, not all auto-HTTPS functionalities are the same.

We'll use Traefik, an open source cloud native gateway that can plug into a Kubernetes cluster. It has the concept of "middleware" that can process API requests before passing them through to a backend. We can configuring a rate limit for all of our API endpoints by matching on the request path:

I did the same question here and here

Sadly there is currently no way of doing so. https://github.com/traefik/traefik/issues/6999

Traefik is another widely used system that has automatic configuration and offers support for more things like swarm/kubernetes/etc.
