I want to host a private Python package repository. What are the recommended methods for serving it, and what are the essential technical and security requirements for the base and project URLs according to the 'Simple repository API' specification? Also, what is the strong security recommendation for serving the repository?
Navigate to the 'Guides' section. Find the guide on 'Hosting your own simple repository'. Identify the two recommended methods for serving a simple repository. Note any strong security recommendations for serving the repository. Navigate to the 'PyPA specifications' section. Find the 'Simple repository API' specification. Locate the 'Base HTML API' section within the specification. Identify the technical requirements for the root URL of the repository. Identify the technical requirements for individual project URLs, including security recommendations for file links. Synthesize all gathered information to answer the question.
State the two recommended methods for serving a simple repository (e.g., using a software package like devpi, or creating a proper directory structure with a static web server). Confirm the HTML5 and anchor element requirements for the root URL (e.g., must be valid HTML5, one anchor per project, anchor text is project name, href links to project URL). Confirm the URL format and HTML5/anchor requirements for individual project URLs (e.g., /<normalized_name>/, valid HTML5, one anchor per file, href is download URL, anchor text is filename). State the security recommendation for file links (e.g., SHOULD include a hash in the form of a URL fragment like #<hash_function>=<hex_digest>). State the strong recommendation for serving the repository with valid HTTPS.
