This seems to come up from time to time when there are problems with galaxy (see here and here for examples). So it might be worth to open a topic on mirroring / proxy caching galaxy. I don’t have a solution because we’re quite happy using the Ansible Community Package. But if people prefer to not …

I didn’t have a closer look yet, but stumbled on this recently: Manage Ansible Collections with JFrog Artifactory . If you’re using JFrog Artifactory anyway for other stuff, this might be a possible solution.

I’ve written a tool for basically for this purpose: [image] GitHub - sivel/amanda: A simple web application, to mimic the v3 API... A simple web application, to mimic the v3 API endpoints for Ansible Galaxy Collections, with no database, just a directory with artifacts …

I think that another widespread product to provide artifacts is Sonatype Nexus. But it looks like they don’t have a solution for galaxy / ansible collections. The only thing I’ve found is this . But it doesn’t look like this resulted in anything. If anyone knows more, please let us know!

[image] mariolenz: I’ve never got the hang on EEs. But I’ve never had a closer look at them, either. As I’ve said: We’re quite happy with using the ACP. fwiw, I think the name EE (execution environment) slightly over complicates the situation to some extent. In reality it’s just a docker con…
