Authenticate to the package registry

To authenticate to the Package Registry, you need to provide [custom HTTP headers or use HTTP Basic authentication]({{< relref "doc/developers/api-usage.en-us.md#authentication" >}}).

Publish a package

To publish a generic package perform a HTTP PUT operation with the package content in the request body. You cannot publish a package if a package of the same name and version already exists. You must delete the existing package first.

PUT https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/generic/{package_name}/{package_version}/{file_name}

Parameter	Description
owner	The owner of the package.
package_name	The package name. It can contain only lowercase letters (a-z), uppercase letter (A-Z), numbers (0-9), dots (.), hyphens (-), or underscores (_).
package_version	The package version, a non-empty string.
file_name	The filename. It can contain only lowercase letters (a-z), uppercase letter (A-Z), numbers (0-9), dots (.), hyphens (-), or underscores (_).

Example request using HTTP Basic authentication:

curl --user your_username:your_password_or_token \
     --upload-file path/to/file.bin \
     https://gitea.example.com/api/packages/testuser/generic/test_package/1.0.0/file.bin

If you are using 2FA or OAuth use a [personal access token]({{< relref "doc/developers/api-usage.en-us.md#authentication" >}}) instead of the password.

The server reponds with the following HTTP Status codes.

HTTP Status Code	Meaning
201 Created	The package has been published.
400 Bad Request	The package name and/or version are invalid or a package with the same name and version already exist.
