    I had my own full local mirror with https://github.com/ChrisMacNaughton/cargo-cacher a few years back (repeated downloads in docker builds -.-). Iirc, it was 43 GB. I should probably donate some money for doing that… (To who, actually? Mozilla? Rust foundation?)

    We had previously tried panamax but it broke constantly. Well, recently we tried again and it worked beautifully this time and we used it to create an offline mirror. It was pretty straightforward to set up, has plenty of customization options, and is quick to update. It includes the Rust toolchain itself as well as the entire ecosystem of https://crates.io/. It's amazing, and it feels like we're online almost! The entire mirror is only about 150GB. Not bad!

    It looks like panamax is also a program that can be used to mirror a local crates-io registry to ones device. And using .cargo/config one can point to it. https://github.com/panamax-rs/panamax

    You can use https://github.com/panamax-rs/panamax to grab the entire crates.io
  • Is there an offline mirroring tool for package management for go ?

    I’m looking for an equivalent of panamax for rust, for golang. Do you know if a tool like this exists ? The aim is to have a maximum of packages available (ideally all) in an offline environment.

    Finally got Panamax's (rust mirror) "serve" command to a point where I've finally made a PR for it!

    Work on Panamax (a Rust mirror for rustup and crates.io). It's nearly complete, and as part of building a command to serve a downloaded mirror, I've implemented a warp proof of concept that serves a git repo: https://github.com/panamax-rs/warp-git
