# docker mirror packages repo

Allows to simulate upstream centos / ubuntu / opensuse
package repository servers by using a docker container
which contains a local package mirror.

The scripts in this project allow to build a local package
mirror using rsync. When ready the rpm/deb packages get
copied into a docker image which has a small web script
that mimics the mirrorlist function of the original
upstream package repository servers.

There is a helper script docker_mirror which can start
a mirror docker image as container. The --add-hosts
option prints the line for "docker run" so that calls
to the original upstream package server get diverted
to the ip address of the locally running docker container.

Effectively all `"yum install"` or `"zypper install"` or
`"apt-get install"` commands run locally in the docker 
network. No internet access required. Without changing 
repo files. Without special proxy host setups. This is
faster, allows for reproducible install tests, and it
can be used in a disconnected environment.

The scripting has also been used with docker-compose
and ansible deployment setups. Over the years a number
of package repos have been tested - starting with
distros from 2016 until today. Even when the upstream
package repositories get disabled, for being out of
support, the local docker mirrors continue to work.
