How to modify persistent storage for Wallaroo services

Wallaroo installations provide python private repository configuration, enabling organizations to use custom Python libraries with the Custom Models, AI automations, and other needs.

Private Python Repository via Kots

Administrators can configure Wallaroo with a Python private package repository (for example, Nexus, Github) into Wallaroo from within the same local network. This is useful for providing access to custom Python libraries for:

To enable Python private model registries via kots, enable the following settings:

2. Private PyPI repository URL: The URL for the private repository in the format https://{HOST_NAME}.
3. Username for private PyPI authentication: Sets the username authentication credential to the private repository.
4. Password for private PyPI authentication: Sets the password authentication credential to the private repository.
5. Only allow fetching packages from private PiPI repository: If enabled, only uses the defined private PyPi repository; any public PyPI links are ignored.
