Up to date apt-mirror script, containerized for mirroring + serving.

This repository merges geosone's and liedekef's updates from the (sadly) unmaintained apt-mirror repository

Status : tested & working ✔️

An Ubuntu archive mirror may update every 6 hours (4 times a day, timezone depending on mirror's location). To avoid a bad sync, launch sync of your mirror ~15 minutes after midnight, 6am, noon or 6pm (consider mirror's timezone).

That is to say your download time shoudln't exceed 6 hours to be safe : that's why I recommended using a cloud provider for download and then retrieve it with rsync for example.

1. Edit the mirror.list file at your convenience

2. Run the mirror container :

   docker-compose build
   docker-compose up mirror

This repository is shipped with the Ubuntu 18.04 default mirror.list (expect ~179G to be downloaded)

1. Check your mirroring succeeded in ./mirror/mirror/* or typing du -sh ./mirror

   If this directory is ~179G, you can consider it worked.

2. Run the server :

   docker-compose up -d server

   Server will run on localhost:8080

👉 Feel free to add a reverse proxy or update the nginx configuration file to secure the mirror with SSL/TLS
