devpi-server: backend for hosting private package indexes and PyPI on-demand mirrors
PyPI on-demand package mirror
You can point uv, pip or another Python package installer to the root/pypi/+simple/ index, serving as a transparent on-demand mirror for PyPI-hosted packages.
User specific indexes
Each user (which can represent a person, project or team) can have multiple indexes, and can upload packages and documents to these indexes via standard twine or setup.py invocations. Users and indexes can be manipulated through devpi-client and a RESTful HTTP API.
Index inheritance
Each index can be configured to merge in other indexes so that it serves both its uploads and all releases from other index(es). For example, an index using root/pypi as a parent is a good place to test out a release candidate before you push it to PyPI.
Sensible defaults for a low friction deployment
Get started easily and deploy a devpi-server instance with pre-configured templates for nginx and process managers.
Separate tool for Packaging/Testing activities
The complementary devpi-client tool helps to manage users, indexes, logins and typical package upload and installation workflows.
See https://doc.devpi.net on how to get started and further documentation.

Changelog
6.20.3 (2026-06-30)
Bug Fixes
Fix fetching files from re-created mirrors (for example after import or delete and create) without fetching simple project page first. This happens when uv uses a package URL directly from a lock file.
Search for METADATA file if the generated name with normalized project and version doesn’t match. This fixes serving core metadata for older wheels.
6.20.2 (2026-06-11)
Bug Fixes
Fix logic error which allowed unauthorized fetching of replication data.
6.20.1 (2026-05-11)
Bug Fixes
Pass through request headers when streaming .metadata from mirror. Refs #1018
6.20.0 (2026-04-30)
Features
Add experimental bare bones core-metadata ([PEP 658](https://peps.python.org/pep-0658/), [PEP 714](https://peps.python.org/pep-0714/)) support with --enable-core-metadata command line option and mirror_provides_core_metadata mirror index option. Refs #1018
Bug Fixes
Update replica status when the replica is waiting for new serials using the streaming changelog endpoint.
6.19.3 (2026-04-13)
Bug Fixes
Fix #1112: Parse simple JSON reply even with wrong content-type in reply if the body seems to contain JSON.
Return stale project list for mirrors when the lock can’t be acquired within the timeout.
Fix importing of toxresults from devpi-server 6.5.0 to 6.9.0 where the wrong hash was stored.
