Description

This cookbook configures the machine as a mirror of apt.

Requirements

Platform

• Ubuntu 13.04 (that's all we support at /dev/fort for now, so that's all I've tested.)

Attributes

Cookbook attributes are named under the apt_mirror namespace.

• node['apt_mirror']['user'] - user to host apt mirror as, defaults to fort

• node['apt_mirror']['data_dir'] - directory to store apt mirror in, defaults to '/data/apt'

• default['apt_mirror']['remote'] - URL for the remote apt instance to mirror, defaults to http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu

• default['apt_mirror']['release'] - release codename to mirror packages for, defaults to raring (for 13.04)

• default['apt_mirror']['architecture'] - CPU architecture to mirror packages for, defaults to amd64. If unset, uses the host architecture.

• node['apt_mirror']['apache']['listen_hostname'] - Hostname to listen on for apt Apache virtualhost, defaults to '*'

• node['apt_mirror']['apache']['listen_port'] - Port to listen on for apt Apache virtualhost, defaults to '80'

Recipes

The main entrypoint for this cookbook is the default recipe.

Usage

Include apt-mirror and it will start replicating http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu. This will take a very long time (probably a couple of days), and require tens of gigabytes of storage (~60GB, at time of writing). You have been warned.

You can keep an eye on the mirroring progress by running tailing /var/log/upstart/apt-mirror.log.
