cratery
A lightweight private cargo registry with batteries included, built for organizations, featuring docs generation and dependency analysis.
What is cratery?
Cratery is a private Cargo registry built for organizations to host and manage their internal Rust crates securely. It solves the problem of needing a private, self-hosted alternative to crates.io for proprietary code, offering built-in features like documentation generation and dependency analysis. The project provides a complete ecosystem for internal crate management, including authentication, administration, and statistics tracking.
Organizations and teams developing proprietary Rust software who need a secure, private registry for internal crate hosting and management. It's also suitable for developers requiring advanced features like automated documentation generation and dependency vulnerability scanning.
Developers choose Cratery because it's a lightweight, all-in-one private registry with essential features like docs.rs-style documentation generation and deps.rs-style dependency analysis built-in. Its self-hosted nature offers full control and security, while support for Docker and flexible storage options (filesystem or S3) simplifies deployment and scaling.
