Support for protobufs

[ddymko]

Hey there 👋

Really digging this project super clean approach to artifact consolidation.

I’m currently using Buf Schema Registry to manage protobuf modules, but I’d love to consolidate everything (containers, Go modules, and protobuf schemas) into a single artifact system if possible.

Is there any interest or roadmap around supporting protobuf modules?

Thanks!

I am working on some proxy/remote/cache stuff right now. I will make a ticket to work on this right after that!

We've created tracking issues for this feature. Here's the full breakdown:

Tracking Epic

• Protobuf / Buf Schema Registry format support #113 — Protobuf / Buf Schema Registry format support (parent tracking issue)

Backend (artifact-keeper)

Issue	Description
#114	Database migrations and models
#115	Service layer (business logic)
#116	Format handler implementation
#117	API endpoints with OpenAPI annotations
#118	E2E tests with buf CLI

Web Frontend

Issue	Description
artifact-keeper/artifact-keeper-web#12	Protobuf schema browser UI

Documentation

Issue	Description
artifact-keeper/artifact-keeper-site#2	Protobuf / BSR format guide

Dependency Order

DB migrations → Service layer → Format handler → API endpoints → Web UI + E2E tests + Docs

This will be prioritized after the current proxy/remote/cache work lands. Thanks for the suggestion @ddymko!

@ddymko if you want to do some testing for me you can pull the dev tags for the containers.

docker pull ghcr.io/artifact-keeper/artifact-keeper-backend:dev
docker pull ghcr.io/artifact-keeper/artifact-keeper-web:latest

That was quick!

The web UI is partially done, I want to add some more eye candy so hopefully I can add a few nice-to-haves for proto!
