How I host a Devuan ceres mirror for myself
Building on what I learned a long time ago for building an apt repo on CentOS, and some guidance from the Devuan forum, I have now validated my local Devuan mirror. I chose to use debmirror because it can be limited to just certain suites (that's Debian-speak for "version") and package repositories. I exclusively use Devuan ceres (testing) because I need the FreeIPA packages. And also CentOS had an rpm of debmirror. I run my script on Sunday and weekdays. Cron job:
0 9 * * 0-5 root /etc/installed/debmirror-devuan.sh 1>/dev/null 2>&1
And my script:
1 2 3 4 5 |
|
Pretty basic, right? I had to prep the keyrings directory with the contents of a devuan install's /usr/share/keyrings, but calling the debmirror was pretty easy. I pipe it to some logging as well. Of course the debmirror.conf for this is extremely relevant.
