simpleindex VS vscodeoffline

This is pretty cool. I created simpleindex[1] a while ago to solve a different problem, but since the solution is essentially also running a custom index server, it has several overlapping functionalities to Morgan’s server script. I wonder if there’s a common pattern that can be extracted out…

BTW I also maintain resolvelib (mentioned in another comment), feel free to shoot any questions in the issue tracker or the PyPA Discord[2], or any other means. The documentation is a bit sparse and there are not many resources on dependency resolution in general, and there’s a few of us that help each other out on things.

Thanks for posting this. I'm going to give setting up Morgan a shot when I've got some free cycles.

I'd hesitantly accepted the risk of serving a devpi server over vsock and into my (personal) restricted VLAN. I did so because using a shared folder meant I'd need have cached the module and any dependencies from my internet-connected VLAN first.

Combined with debmirror[0], vscodeoffline[1], and some nightly snatcher shell scripts, I think I have most of my needs covered.
