Using devpi as a PyPI Mirror

To use your devpi server as a PyPI mirror:

# Configure pip to use devpi
pip config set global.index-url http://localhost:3141/root/pypi/+simple/

# Or for a specific project
pip install -i http://localhost:3141/root/pypi/+simple/ package_name

Using devpi with a requirements.txt file

pip install -i http://localhost:3141/root/pypi/+simple/ -r requirements.txt

Persistence

The setup uses a Docker volume to ensure data persists between container restarts.
