Asymmetric-Effort/Bootstrap/Package-Server

(c) 2023 Sam Caldwell. See LICENSE.txt

Objective:

• MVP: To set up a docker container service running Nginx web server and apt-mirror which will mirror the Ubuntu package repository to allow greater control over which packages we are installing and to reduce network traffic to the internet.
• ToDo: Add support for NPM to host node.js packages internally on our local package server.
• ToDo: Add support for PyPI to host Python packages internally on our local package server.
• ToDo: Add support for brew artifacts.

Caveat:

• This service will consume several hundred GB of disk space.
• By default, data is stored at $(HOME)/mirror/data where home is the home directory of the user running the docker container

Building Container

To build...

1. Clone this repo
2. Navigate to the directory
3. Run make package_server/build

To Run Local Container

To run this locally (e.g. bootstrapping an environment):

1. Build the container locally (see above).
2. Run make package_server/run_local

To Upload the Image

To upload the container image:

1. Build the container (see above)
2. Run make package_server/upload

(Disclaimer: This currently is not implemented and by design it will only upload to my local docker hub.)

Stop Services

To stop the package server, run make package_server/stop

Tailing logs of running services

To tail the logs, run make package_server/logs
