This directory provides the docker recipe for the Spack package index on https://packages.spack.io

On each merge to develop, DockerHub builds a new image spack/packages.spack.io which is configured in:

https://cloud.docker.com/u/spack/repository/docker/spack/packages.spack.io/builds/edit

The API is a simple, file-based JSON index. A specific package can be queried via the URI syntax: https://packages.spack.io/api/:firstLetter/:packageName.json which will return a HTTP status code 200 with a JSON file for all valid packages (content from spack list --format version_json) and HTTP status code 404 for all other package names.

Examples:

• https://packages.spack.io/api/a/adios2.json
• https://packages.spack.io/api/p/py-pandas.json

There is also the full index available at once under https://packages.spack.io/api/packages.json

Current down-stream dependencies are, e.g. the https://shields.io service:

• https://shields.io/category/version
• badges/shields#3536

Execute in your local Spack source root directory:

docker build -t spack/packages.spack.io:latest -f share/spack/docker/package-index/Dockerfile .

Startup a local HTTP server on http://localhost:8080 via:

docker run -p 8080:80 spack/packages.spack.io:latest
