Create and serve a debian repostitory from a bunch of *.deb
s.
Tested on:
- Debian 9
Start by listing the repositories you want to create in aptly_repos
. You will
need a separate repostitory for each distribution you want to serve. You will
also need to think about key management, you can either leave
aptly_gpg_generate_key
set to true
which will result in a passwordless 2048
bit RSA key being generated or set it to false and put your own keyring in
files
.
After running the role, su to aptly_repo_user
and use aptly repo add <name> <debs>
to add packages. If you use your repostitory for the first time, you'll need to
tell aptly to publish it:
aptly publish repo -distribution="<distribution, e.g. stretch>" -architectures=<architectures, e.g. 'amd64,all'> <name> filesystem:default:<name>
This will inform aptly about both the distribution and the architectures for
each repostitory which cannot be changed afterwards. After subsequent adds, you
can to update the repostitory using
aptly publish update <distribution> filesystem:default:<name>
