#7 Re: Question: A local debian mirror? Posted by dopehouse (84.130.xx.xx) on Wed 7 Sep 2005 at 11:41 Hi cpankonien! I use apt-proxy, it's a very good tool if you don't need the full >6GB for one cpu-arch. I use it since 2003 and it's doing a great job. All you need to do is apt-get install apt-get install apt-proxy and tune the config a little bit. My '/etc/apt-proxy/apt-proxy-v2.conf' (without comments): [DEFAULT] address = 192.168.0.187 port = 9999 min_refresh_delay = 1h complete_clientless_downloads = 1 debug = all:4 db:0 timeout = 15 cache_dir = /home/aptproxy cleanup_freq = 1d max_age = 120d max_versions = 1 [debian] backends = http://ftp2.de.debian.org/debian http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian [debian-non-US] backends = http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-non-US http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian-non-US ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian [security] backends = http://ftp2.de.debian.org/debian-security http://security.debian.org/debian-security You can add or remove some servers. I'm from germany so I use the fpt2.de.* mirrors. An Important entry is the security entry, becaus it mirrors the security patches too. The 'adress' entry at the beginning is the apt-proxy ip-adress. Know my '/etc/apt/sources.list': deb http://192.168.0.187:9999/debian/ sarge main non-free contrib deb-src http://192.168.0.187:9999/debian/ sarge main non-free contrib deb http://192.168.0.187:9999/security sarge/updates main contrib non-free Thats all. Now make apt-get update apt-get upgrade and everything looks like before, but if you make updates on more than just one machine, than you can see the ghosts of debian and apt working. *Bad english, I know*
