⁠How to use this image

Something of importance to note is that by default, the API stores its database, downloaded packages, and published repositories all within the /var/lib/aptly-api directory. Hence, it's advisable that a volume be mounted to this directory. Said volume can be used by multiple instances of the API as it runs with the -no-lock option.

docker run --detach --volume "aptly-api:/var/lib/aptly-api" --publish "8080:8080" "cavcrosby/aptly-api"

In addition, a volume containing GPG keys (either ASCII armored or binary) can be mounted at the /etc/aptly-api/secrets/gpg path to have those added to the container's keyring to be used by the API.

⁠Using a different listening port

docker run --detach --volume "aptly-api:/var/lib/aptly-api" --publish "8080:8081" --env "PORT=8081" "cavcrosby/aptly-api"

⁠Using a different configuration file

docker run --detach --volume "aptly-api:/var/lib/aptly-api" --volume "${PWD}/aptly.conf:/tmp/aptly.conf" --publish "8080:8080" --env "CONFIG_PATH=/tmp/aptly.conf" "cavcrosby/aptly-api"
