build: Build and start the microCRAN site

Description

build creates the Plumber-router and run starts the service.

Usage

build(
  repo_dir,
  url_path,
  redirect_url,
  title,
  description,
  contact,
  license,
  tos
)
run(pr, host = "127.0.0.1", port = 1881, url_path, ...)

Value

A new Plumber-router object.

Arguments

repo_dir: Path to local directory, where the root of the repository is. The (source) packages will be stored locally at {repo_dir}/src/contrib/.
url_path: Optional prefix to endpoint. The CRAN repository will be available at e.g. http://127.0.0.1:port/path_prefix/ with the "contrib.url" as http://127.0.0.1:port/path_prefix/src/contrib/.
redirect_url: Url, if supplied, requests to static assets (package files, etc.) are redirected to another service instead of being handled by cran_static_path_handler. It can be beneficial to let e.g. an Apache httpd service handle those.
title, description, contact, license, tos: Descriptions of the API. Some defaults are used, see section below or https://www.rplumber.io/articles/annotations.html.
pr: A Plumber-router, e.g. as returned from build.
host: A string that is a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address that is owned by this server, which the application will listen on. "0.0.0.0" represents all IPv4 addresses and "::/0" represents all IPv6 addresses.
port: A number or integer that indicates the server port that should be listened on. Note that on most Unix-like systems including Linux and Mac OS X, port numbers smaller than 1025 require root privileges.
...: Additional arguments passed on to plumber::pr_run().
run: Logical, should the method run the site immediately?
