Long answer: Every repository has its own suggestion how to mirror. I do not have Debian mirror, my friend sysadmin in the next building maintains one, no need for two in the same institution. Here in my cron job script for mirroring CentOS (with some local details obfuscated): #============== #!/usr/local/bin/bash # We use locks... touch=/usr/bin/touch echo=/bin/echo ps=/bin/ps cat=/bin/cat grep=/usr/bin/grep wc=/usr/bin/wc rm=/bin/rm sendmail=/usr/sbin/sendmail date=/bin/date rsync=/usr/local/bin/rsync # DEFAULTS ADDR=recipient at server FROM=sender at hostingmirror lockfile=/.../lock/centosmirror.lock mirror=/.../mirror/centos logfile=/.../mirrorlog/centos.log # check if log file exists, and create if not if [ ! -f $logfile ]; then $touch $logfile fi # check if lock exists, then bale out sending warning, # otherwise rsync if [ -f $lockfile ]; then # check if the process resembling lock still exists, # if not, just delete lock if [ "$($ps -p `$cat $lockfile` | $wc -l)" -gt 1 ]; then # Send the message ( $echo "From: $FROM" $echo "To: $ADDR" $echo "Subject: CentOS mirror failed" $echo "" $echo "CentOS mirror process bailed out as there is another process" $echo "with the same name and the following PID:" $echo "" $echo "`$cat $lockfile`" echo "" echo "You may want to check logs:" echo "" echo "/.../mirrorlog/centos.log" ) | $sendmail -F $ADDR -t else # no process, just delete the lock, and mirror $rm -f $lockfile $echo $$ > $lockfile $echo "`$date` started mirroring" >> $logfile $rsync -aqH --exclude .~tmp~/ --exclude .~tmp~ --delete us-msync.centos.org::CentOS /data/mirror/centos $echo "`$date` finished mirroring" >> $logfile $rm $lockfile fi else $echo $$ > $lockfile $echo "`$date` started mirroring" >> $logfile $rsync -aqH --exclude .~tmp~/ --exclude .~tmp~ --delete us-msync.centos.org::CentOS /data/mirror/centos $echo "`$date` finished mirroring" >> $logfile $rm $lockfile fi #================================ > On Tue, Apr 20, 2021 at 3:14 PM Valeri Galtsev <galtsev at kicp.uchicago.edu> > wrote: > >> >> >>> On Apr 20, 2021, at 12:34 AM, Rudi Ahlers <rudiahlers at gmail.com> wrote: >>> >>> Pulp is a bit overkill for my liking. >>> >> >> Coming back to the original question: mirror hosting variety of >> distributions, does not have to have any packaging or other tools used by >> those distributions.
