Usage

Just start the server. By default, it listens on port 15151 and creates a directory named vcpkg-cache to store the binary cache.

$ vcpkg-cache-http                                        
2023-07-12T17:37:14Z INF use default store store=file:vcpkg-cache
2023-07-12T17:37:14Z INF start server addr=0.0.0.0:15151

Set vcpkg binary source as http,http://localhost:15151/{name}/{version}/{sha},readwrite. It can be set to environment variable VCPKG_BINARY_SOURCES or passed by vcpkg command with --binarysource flag. Please see vcpkg official document about Binary Caching for details.

$ vcpkg install --binarysource="http,http://localhost:15151/{name}/{version}/{sha},readwrite" zlib

Install

From Source

go install github.com/lesomnus/vcpkg-cache-http@latest

Docker

docker pull ghcr.io/lesomnus/vcpkg-cache-http:edge 

Currently, only edge tag built from the main branch is provided.

Stores

vcpkg-cache-http accepts 1 positional argument that indicates the location to store the binary cache. The store is formed as kind[:[path][,opt[=val]]]. For example, store that stores the binary cache to a directory where ./path/to/store is as follow:

files:./path/to/store

Available stores are:

• files:[vcpkg-cache]

  Stores to a directory at the given path.

• archives:[${HOME}/.cache/vcpkg/archives]

  Use vcpkg's files provider at the given path as a store.
