Server
The server is the implementation of the repository.
vieter server
starts the HTTP server. Its endpoints are listed here.
Multiple repositories
Vieter can contain multiple repositories, each of which is further divided into various architectures.
A repository is created once a package archive is published to it using this route:
curl -XPOST -H "X-API-KEY: your-key" -T some-package.pkg.tar.zst https://example.com/somerepo/publish
This repository can then be added to Pacman as described below.
Pacman
A Vieter repository can be added to Pacman like any other repository. In your
/etc/pacman.conf file, add the following lines:
[vieter]
Server = https://example.com/$repo/$arch
SigLevel = Optional
Here, you see two important placeholder variables which get replaced by Pacman
when reading the file. $repo is replaced by the name within the square
brackets, which in this case would be vieter. $arch is replaced by the
output of uname -m. Because Vieter supports multiple repositories &
architectures per repository, using this notation makes sure you always use the
correct endpoint for fetching files.
I recommend placing this below all other repository entries, as the order decides which repository gets used if there's ever a naming conflict.
