I’m looking to get some local mirrors in my LAN…I’m fed up to lose time for updates,. The HD space is not really an issue for me, bandwithd is another question, specially when My wife looks the TV (by Internet of course)
I want to mirror
Centos
Epel
Nethserver
It would be good for a first shot
Do you have some Ideas, Tips…definitely this worth a wiki page
if the ns is the gateway of your LAN, then all can be imagined, and really simply. But it is something really specific…for example when you download the centos repository the link is
Out of my topic but I have a friend of mine who manages about 800 windows computers with Main benefits — WAPT 2.5 documentation but it seems it is for now only with ubuntu…maybe soon on centos
EDIT : I speak too fast…there is a procedure on NS7/EL7
Nice tool but WAPT is too much.
WSUS is only for updates and hotfixes for Win OS.
Starting from your idea(s), an update server for the Operating Systems which are in a network based on NethServer.
Could be updates for NethServer/CentOS, Ubuntu, even Windows.
Could be useful for:
Places where the Internet connection bandwidth is small.
Especially for schools, hospitals, generally for the public sector, where are many computers.
When you reinstall the OS for computers.
Development work.
Again, maybe a bad idea and I will stop here.
The thread is a bit old, but this last day I’ve needed an on-demand local repo for centos/nethserver and fedora. After some research and try I’ve found that Apt-Cacher-ng can work with centos and fedora with a bit of tuning from there. It work perfectly well, and since I don’t think I’m the only one with a bad bandwidth it can be useful.
