git-lfs-http-mirror

Simple Python server to serve a read only HTTP mirror of git repositories that use Large File Storage (LFS)

Designed to sit in front of another HTTP server that serves git repositories using the so-called dumb git protocol, extending it with the capability to serve LFS files.

Installation

pip install git-lfs-http-mirror

Usage

Configuration is by environment variables

UPSTREAM_ROOT='https://my-bucket.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/a-folder' \
LOG_LEVEL=INFO \
PORT=8888 \
    python -m git_lfs_http_mirror

The server configued as UPSTREAM_ROOT should be a static server, serving copies of git repositories. Each copy can be created using:

git clone --bare https://server.test/my-repo
cd my-repo.git
git lfs fetch
git update-server-info

and then uploaded to the server in its own folder. If the server is S3, this can be done using the Upload folder feature in the AWS S3 Console.
