Conan Artifact Repository is a repository for storing and distributing C/C++ packages. It allows developers to upload, manage, and install various C/C++ third-party libraries and tools.

Prerequisites

1. Create Artifact Registry
2. Obtain Artifact Registry Address
3. Create Access Token

Local Development

Add a Remote and Login

# <REMOTE_NAME> is your chosen name for the remote
# <REPO_URL> is the URL of your repository
# Example: conan remote add cnb-conan-repo https://conan.cnb.cool/cnb/conan-repo/-/packages/
conan remote add <REMOTE_NAME> <REPO_URL>

# Example: conan remote login -p my-token cnb-conan-repo cnb
conan remote login -p <YOUR_TOKEN> <REMOTE_NAME> cnb

Pull Artifacts

# Example: conan download zlib/1.3.1 -r cnb-conan-repo
conan download <PACKAGE_NAME> -r <REMOTE_NAME>

Build and Push Artifacts

# Create the package locally first
# Example 1: conan create . 
# Example 2: conan create . --user=test-user --channel=test-channel
conan create . --user=<USER> --channel=<CHANNEL>

# Upload the package to the remote
# Example 1: conan upload my-project/1.0.0 -r cnb-conan-repo (without user and channel)
# Example 2: conan upload my-project/1.0.0@test-user/test-channel -r cnb-conan-repo (with user and channel)
conan upload <PACKAGE_NAME> -r <REMOTE_NAME>

Prerequisites

Add the following configuration to your .cnb.yml file:

.cnb.yml

$:
  vscode:

      imports:
        # Example: https://cnb.cool/cnb-demo/env-demo/-/blob/main/envs/env.yml
        - <SECRET_REPO_URL>

Add a Remote and Login

• Option 1: Using the built-in CNB_TOKEN environment variable

# <REMOTE_NAME> is your chosen name for the remote

conan remote add <REMOTE_NAME> <REPO_URL>

# Example: conan remote login -p ${CNB_TOKEN} cnb-conan-repo ${CNB_TOKEN_USER_NAME}
conan remote login -p ${CNB_TOKEN} <REMOTE_NAME> ${CNB_TOKEN_USER_NAME}

• Option 2: Use the secret repository file:

# <REMOTE_NAME> is your chosen name for the remote

FAQ

Q: Why can't I upload packages to the CNB Conan repository using Conan 1.x?

A: We do not support the legacy protocol of Conan 1.x. If you need to upload using Conan 1.x, you must first enable revisions by running the command export CONAN_REVISIONS_ENABLED=True, and then try uploading again.

Q: Why do I get a 409 Conflict error when uploading?

A: Currently, we only support storing a single recipe revision and a single package revision per version. Pushing a different revision for an existing recipe or package is considered an "overwrite" operation. To resolve this, either change your repository's "Overwrite Policy" to "Allow Overwrites" or increment the version of your package before uploading.

Q: Why do I get a 400 Bad Request error when uploading?

A: This usually happens when your package name does not conform to the Conan 2.x naming conventions. Please check and correct the package name before trying to upload again.
