Host custom in-house repo for school

Hi,

Is there a official wiki guide to how to make a repo and host a mirror for custom packages.

How makepkg works is known. I just wonder how to host the mirror and create a repo. like so with gentoo:

https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Creating_a … repository
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Local_Mirror

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman … repository?

Might be simpler to use the openSUSE Build Service instead:

https://build.opensuse.org/

It's free.

Re: Host custom in-house repo for school

No, sorry, that's me. I haven't tried that myself and I presumed the link covered it, apologies for that.

Hopefully somebody with more experience will be able to offer better assistance.

Re: Host custom in-house repo for school

This wiki article should help: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman … repository

Also what packages do you want to host in this repo? If you plan to host self-built packages it is maybe advisable to also look into devtools' pkgctl to do clean chroot building etc.
If you just want to rehost official packages maybe a cache server would be better than a private mirror smile

Re: Host custom in-house repo for school

@Head_on_a_Stick whoops big_smile

The server config is not that difficult, see i.e. this nginx config I use for my own repo:

$ cat /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/repo.conf 
server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;
    server_name repo.vpn.heusel.eu;
    server_name repo.fritz.box;
    location / {
        autoindex         on;
        alias             /tank/packages/;
    }
}

This of course gets a bit more complicated once HTTPS etc. come into play, but there should be plenty tutorials on that .. If there are issues I'm happy to help though smile
