The record

Purpose: Satis generates a static Composer repository for hosting metadata for private packages or your own packages.
Audience: The project describes Satis as a tool for PHP developers who want a private package repository for their projects’ dependencies.
Package selection: You can include all versions from configured repositories or select packages and version constraints with the require setting.
Repository sources: Satis configuration can list VCS repositories, and the documentation says repositories can be other types as well.
Automated rebuilds: The documentation describes running builds as a cron job and using webhooks to trigger rebuilds after code is pushed.
Partial updates: Satis can selectively update packages or process a repository URL, though it may still need to scan all VCS repositories to find selected packages.
Security: The documentation describes securing repositories over SSH or HTTPS with a client certificate, and also gives an example of token authentication through an HTTP header.
Authentication: Composer authentication details can be stored in a global auth.json file or in the project directory beside composer.json.
Integrations: The documentation describes mirroring GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket repositories and using Composer repositories as sources.
Package archives: Satis can generate package archives in zip or tar format and place them in a configured output directory or an absolute directory.
Archive limitation: Mirrored GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket repositories can use downloads provided by those platforms; code hosted elsewhere may lack downloads unless Satis is configured to create archives.
Hosting and deployment: The project documents installing from source or Composer and running its Docker container; its generated repository can be hosted anywhere.
Requirements: The project says Satis requires a recent PHP version and does not run with unsupported PHP versions.
License: Satis is licensed under the MIT License.
