# UV - Private Packages

For Aikido to update dependencies that include private packages, it needs access to your private registries so it can generate accurate lockfile updates. For UV, this can be achieved by adding the appropriate **environment variables** in Aikido.

## Credentials for package indexes <a href="#adding-credentials-with-environment-variables" id="adding-credentials-with-environment-variables"></a>

If you're adding [package indexes](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/concepts/indexes/) that require authentication in your `pyproject.toml`, you can provide the username and password for the indexes by setting up environment variables in Aikido. The environment variables should be created in the following format:

* `UV_INDEX_[INDEX_NAME]_USERNAME`
* `UV_INDEX_[INDEX_NAME]_PASSWORD`

Where the `[INDEX_NAME]` is the name of the index which you specified in your `pyproject.toml` file in uppercase. For example, set `UV_INDEX_PYTORCH_USERNAME` and `UV_INDEX_PYTORCH_PASSWORD` for the following project file:

```
[[tool.uv.index]]
name = "pytorch"
url = "https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpu"
```

When creating a PR via Autofix, Aikido will include these environment variables when running `uv` commands.

## Setting a default index <a href="#adding-credentials-for-gcp-artifact-registry" id="adding-credentials-for-gcp-artifact-registry"></a>

If you're overriding the default index instead of adding a index in your `pyproject.toml` file, you can set the `UV_DEFAULT_INDEX` environment variable in Aikido.

## Configuration in Aikido

You can configure Aikido to authenticate with your private registry by following the steps below:

1. Go to your account's settings page for AutoFix, [here](https://app.aikido.dev/issues/fix/settings).
2. Click on “Connect Registry”, the configuration modal will now be shown.

4. Add the environment variables (eg. `UV_DEFAULT_INDEX`) required for your build file. All environment variables that start with `UV_` are allowed.
5. Click “*Connect Registry*” to save the configuration.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.aikido.dev/autofix-and-remediation/connect-private-packages/uv-private-packages.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
