RDepot
RDepot is an enterprise package-repository manager for R and Python.
What RDepot is
RDepot is an enterprise package-repository manager for R and Python. Teams can submit packages through its web interface or REST API, then update and publish repositories. Fine-grained authorization separates administrator, repository manager, package manager, and user roles. Full repository versioning and audit trails support regulated environments, while built-in load balancing supports repository operations. RDepot connects with continuous-integration infrastructure for quality assurance on R and Python packages. Open Analytics provides Docker images for the manager application, repository server, and web interface, and recommends versioned images for production deployments. The web UI supports OpenID Connect through Keycloak, Azure and Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, and AWS Cognito. Manager-to-repository communication can use HTTPS with optional mutual TLS. RDepot supports self-hosting, upstream proxying, and API, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows platforms. The open-source plan is free at no cost under Apache License 2.0.
