Solved Apt Mirror

[tinfoil-hat]

Hi there, I downloaded an apt mirror via package

apt-mirror

. After that, I created an apache2 alias like following:

Alias /debian /var/spool/apt-mirror/mirror/deb.debian.org/debian

for testing purposes I tryed to do the following in my

sources.list

:

deb [arch=amd64] http://127.0.0.1/debian bookworm main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb [arch=amd64] http://127.0.0.1/debian bookworm-updates main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb [arch=amd64] http://127.0.0.1/debian bookworm-backports main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/official-package-repositories.list (END)

when I try an

sudo apt update

I get the following:

the path to Contents-all seems not existing

Instead there was the following created by apt-mirror

If you could help me to get packages installed from this mirror, I´d be very thankful

 

[Alexzee]

Please post your sources list. Look in /etc/apt/sources.list.

The entries that you added to your sources list are not edited correctly from what I can see.

Some index files could not be downloaded and things failed to be gotten from that url.
Those file were ignored or old ones were used in their place.

The correct 'Debian 12 Bookworm Mirror for Germany' is here:

Debian -- Debian Mirrors (worldwide)

www.debian.org

My Debian 12 sources list is as follows:

debian-box:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
# See https://wiki.debian.org/SourcesList for more information.
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm main non-free-firmware
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm main non-free-firmware

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-updates main non-free-firmware
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-updates main non-free-firmware

deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security/ bookworm-security main non-free-firmware
deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security/ bookworm-security main non-free-firmware

# Backports allow you to install newer versions of software made available for this release
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-backports main non-free-firmware
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-backports main non-free-firmware

I tried going to the url that you posted in the screenshot.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy.
The Debian Team at times have to take mirrors off-line to work on the servers so the repo you are trying to pull from may be down.

 

[GatorsFan]

I do not use apt-mirror myself - never had the need to - but your apt sources list is all wrong

deb [arch=amd64] http://127.0.0.1/debian bookworm main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb [arch=amd64] http://127.0.0.1/debian bookworm-updates main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
deb [arch=amd64] http://127.0.0.1/debian bookworm-backports main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/official-package-repositories.list (END)

There should be no [arch=amd64] http://127.0.0.1 in your lines
It should look like

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main non-free-firmware contrib non-free
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm main non-free-firmware contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main non-free-firmware contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main non-free-firmware contrib non-free
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-backports main contrib non-free
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm-updates main non-free-firmware contrib non-free
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bookworm-updates main non-free-firmware contrib non-free

That is why your list cannot find anything since what you have does not exist

I think you don't understand. I want to be able to install packages from my very own apt-mirror. not the official ones. I want to be able to install packages when my network is offline

I think with your current setup the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/official-package-repositories.list should look like this:

Test with that (remove other lines) but also make sure to remove the line:

[CaffeineAddict]

that doesn't work for me:

I think your apt-miror is not correctly configured.

Are there any *.deb packages in your binary-amd64 directory?

Sorry don't know how to set up apt-miror.

 

[CaffeineAddict]

@tinfoil-hat
I think I spotted something,

It should be deb [arch=amd64] http://127.0.0.1/debian/ bookworm main

Instead of: deb [arch=amd64] http://127.0.0.1/debian bookworm main

You're missing /

Your apt-miror does not have this file Contents-all.tar.gz, that's why apt is complaining with 404, not found.

Your apt-miror does not have this directory Contents-all, that's why apt is complaining with 404, not found.

I'm not sure how apt-miror config should look like but if you take a loo at official debian's repo you see a file called Contents-all.gz should exist in 127.0.0.1/debian/dists/bookworm/main/ but it doesn't exist in your case, that's what the error is about.

This is a compressed text file containing paths to packages.

Maybe someone else knows how to create a proper offline mirror

 

[CaffeineAddict]

See this docs, it might help with some clues:

apt-mirror(1) [debian man page]

A small and efficient tool that lets you mirror a part of or the whole Debian GNU/Linux distribution or any other apt sources. Main features: * It uses a config similar to apts sources.list * It's fully pool comply * It suppo

I already looked over this, I couldn't discover anything useful in my case

Maybe debmirror is what you are looking for - https://packages.debian.org/stable/debmirror
and here - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Debmirror
