This is in parallel with a co-location\/migration of all my packages to <a href=\"https:\/\/git.sr.ht\/~hrbrmstr\">SourceHut<\/a> (just waiting for the sr.ht alpha API to be baked) and a <a href=\"https:\/\/git.rud.is\/hrbrmstr\">self-hosted public Gitea instance<\/a>. Everything will still be on that legacy social coding site y&#8217;all use but the ultimate goal is to have all installs be possible via the CINC repository (i.e. <code>install.packages()<\/code>) or via a <code>remotes::install_git()<\/code> install from this standalone or any social coding site.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll eventually publish the workflow but the idea is to customize a <code>pkgdown<\/code> YAML file in each package repo so the navbar has links back to CINC and other pages (this will take some time as I seem to have made alot of little packages over the years) and then to add a package to the CINC repo:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>clone it from local Gitea<\/li>\n<li>build the source package<\/li>\n<li>install it<\/li>\n<li>build the <code>pkgdown<\/code> site and have that go to <code>web\/packages<\/code> directory (so <a href=\"https:\/\/cinc.rud.is\/web\/packages\/hrbrthemes\/\">https:\/\/cinc.rud.is\/web\/packages\/hrbrthemes\/<\/a> vs <a href=\"https:\/\/cran.r-project.org\/web\/packages\/hrbrthemes\/\">https:\/\/cran.r-project.org\/web\/packages\/hrbrthemes\/<\/a>)<\/li>\n<li>use <code>drat<\/code> to add the package to the repository<\/li>\n<li>auto-update a useful index\/packages overview page\/directory<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The above processes helped shine a light on some bad README practices I&#8217;ve had and also about how to make it a bit easier (in the future) to install C[++]-backed packages. Speaking of READMEs, I also need to get all the README&#8217;s updated to use either <code>install.packages()<\/code> from CINC or a <code>remotes<\/code> install from Gitea.<\/p>\n<p>Another couple of goals are to possibly get binary package versions added (though that&#8217;s going to be interesting orchestration exercise) and see if I can&#8217;t get some <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/ropenscilabs\/notary\"><code>notary<\/code>?<\/a> concepts implemented.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s actually been a fun mini-project since the <code>drat<\/code> part is a simple as <code>drat::insertPackage('PKG', '\/path\/to\/cinc')<\/code> (<em>#ty Dirk!<\/em>) &mdash; though I need to think through some logic around maintaining Archive versions and also deleting packages which <code>drat<\/code> doesn&#8217;t do yet but is also as simple as removing tarballs and running <code>tools::write_PACKAGES()<\/code>.<\/p>\n<p>As an aside, I also <code>drat<\/code>-ified all our $WORK packages and made that repo work-internally-accessible via static S3 web hosting. At $0.023 USD per GB (per-month) for just hosting the objects and $0.0004 USD per 1,000 <code>GET<\/code> requests (plus minimal setup charges for SSL) it&#8217;s super cheap and also super-easy to maintain. Drop a note in the comments if you&#8217;re interested in more details of the S3 <code>drat<\/code> setup.<\/p>\n<h3>FIN<\/h3>\n<p>After a few more weeks&#8217; baking period for the self-hosed Gitea and CINC sites will have all non-error web-logging disabled and error logs won&#8217;t save IP addresses or referrers (I welcome anyone who wants to third-party audit the <code>nginx<\/code> configs) since another goal is also to help folks not be a product for tech startups or giant, soulless, global multi-national companies with a history of being horrendously evil.<\/p>\n<p>Be on the lookout for a full writeup with code in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<h4>P.S.<\/h4>\n<p>For Safari-users on 10.14+ I&#8217;ve made some tweaks to the &#8220;batman mode&#8221; version of the site.
