Summary

I would like an environment variable that I can use to force uv self update to use release artifacts from a private server without having to explicitly set a version in UV_DOWNLOAD_URL.

Example

I have a private file server that periodically caches the certain release artifacts from public GitHub. These are stored in this structure: <server-url>/github/<org>/<repo>/releases/downloads/<version>/<artifact>, which mirrors the structure of public GitHub (https://github.com/<org>/<repo>/releases/downloads/<version>/<artifact>).

I would like this server to be used when a user runs uv self update instead of public GitHub. I have tried setting these environment variables:

• UV_INSTALLER_GHE_BASE_URL
• UV_INSTALLER_GITHUB_BASE_URL

However, these environment variables are being used for GitHub APIs. Since our private file server is not a GitHub server, uv self update fails.
