Copy APT repos

Docker image to copy APT repos (one-time mirror to local disk).

See also docker-yum-repo for copying YUM repos.

Usage

Define (customize) the following variables:

REPO_DIR=~/data/repos
REPO_HOST=repo

• REPO_DIR: the directory on the host where repos are mirrored to
• REPO_HOST: the name of the host that serves local repos (add this to /etc/hosts with the appropriate IP)

Copy APT repo

docker run --rm -v ${REPO_DIR}:/var/spool/apt-mirror/mirror -e REPO_HOST apt-mirror \
  http://public-repo-1.hortonworks.com/HDP/debian7/2.x/updates/2.6.3.0/hdp.list

By default apt-mirror only copies one architecture (amd64 for this Docker image). To mirror more than one, pass the list of architectures, eg.:

docker run --rm -v ${REPO_DIR}:/var/spool/apt-mirror/mirror -e REPO_HOST apt-mirror \
  http://public-repo-1.hortonworks.com/HDP/debian7/2.x/updates/2.6.3.0/hdp.list \
    amd64 i386

A local version of the APT list file is also created with URLs changed to point to ${REPO_HOST}:

deb http://repo/public-repo-1.hortonworks.com/HDP/ubuntu16/3.x/updates/3.0.0.0 HDP main
deb http://repo/public-repo-1.hortonworks.com/HDP-UTILS-1.1.0.22/repos/ubuntu16 HDP-UTILS main

Serve local repos

Local repos can be served by running nginx or some other web server.

docker run -d --name ${REPO_HOST} -p 80:80 -h ${REPO_HOST} -v ${REPO_DIR}:/usr/share/nginx/html:ro nginx:alpine
