The server component handles file processing and PyPI uploads:
# Set environment variables
export JSONBIN_TOKEN="your_token"
export PYPI_TOKEN="your_pypi_token"
# Run the server
uv run python src/sideloader/main.py
Before installing the Helm chart, create the required secret in your namespace:
kubectl create secret generic sideload-secrets \
--namespace <namespace> \
--from-literal=jsonbin-token="YOUR_JSONBIN_TOKEN" \
--from-literal=pypi-token="YOUR_PYPI_TOKEN" \
--from-literal=pypi-user="YOUR_PYPI_USERNAME" \
--from-literal=pypi-password="YOUR_PYPI_PASSWORD" \
--from-literal=pypi-totp="YOUR_PYPI_TOTP_SECRET" # optional, omit if not using TOTP
Then install the chart:
helm install sideload ./helm --namespace <namespace>
