Creating local mirrors of multiple apt based packages using aptly

[Russell Sutherland]

I've stumbled upon aptly and spent some time creating a local mirror. Looks quite good, flexible and thorough.

I have a need to mirror multiple packages locally. In my case: elastic, zabbix, wazuh etc...

From my initial reading and experimenting, aptly seems to create only one publishing point:

~/.aptly/public

So is aptly flexible enough to mirror more than one package. And if so, where are the publish points in terms of the local file system

Many thanks in advance.

Hello Russell,

Sure, by default aptly mirrors the full repository. It is even possible to filter some specific packages from the mirror.

On the file system level, everything is kept in one pool, but you can also specify a prefix when publishing if you would like multiple pools to keep things tidy (e.g. ~/.aptly/public/elastic). Have a look at the documentation of the "aptly publish snapshot" command.

Cheers,

Frederic

Does aptly 1.0.1 support the filesystem:label:directory construct for aptly snapshot publish?

I think not.

$ aptly publish snapshot elastic-5.x filesystem:packages:elastic/5.x/deb
ERROR: unknown published storage format: filesystem:packages

Russel, that's feature for upcoming 1.1.0 (still testing last bugfixes before releasing it)
