CommunityCreate a self-hosted Conda channel offline.
System Documentation
What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps teams create a self-hosted, offline-installable Conda channel that contains only a selected subset of packages, while ensuring all transitive dependencies are included for reliable offline installations.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Offline packaging: Build a local mirror that can be consumed by conda via file:// or HTTP.
- Deterministic resolution: Use Pixi's lockfile (pixi.lock) to lock versions for reproducible environments.
- Channel indexing: Generate repodata with rattler-index so the channel is fully installable.
Quick Start
Set up a temporary builder project with pixi init, add target packages using pixi add, fetch artifacts with a custom script that reads pixi.lock and downloads files into a channel layout, run pixi run rattler-index local-channel, and verify with conda create -n test-offline -c file://$(pwd)/local-channel pandas --offline --override-channels
