  • Patch Managment for a handfull of Servers
    2 projects | /r/sysadmin | 26 Jun 2022
    If you need to manage your Linux repositories in-house, look at upstream_sync for RHEL and RHEL-clones. Look at debmirror for Debian and Debian-clones. If you have both, you can get debmirror for RHEL and RHEL-clones from EPEL, which would allow you to run both from one server.
  • What Distro did you use to replace Centos?
    5 projects | /r/linuxadmin | 31 May 2022
    Get x16 RHEL developer subscriptions. Use just x01 to setup a local repository and upstream_sync to pull down content. Fix the reposync options in upstream_sync to properly support RHEL 8 modular data. Configure all your RHEL servers to point to your local repository. Viola! You're now commiting fraud at an effectively limitless scale and, one day, IBM will show up to rape your butthole.
  • Syncing RHEL7 repos on a RHEL8 host?
    1 project | /r/redhat | 4 May 2022
    Check this out: upstream_sync
  • Resources/Whitepapers for designing a Linux Patching Policy and Local Update Server?
    1 project | /r/linuxadmin | 5 Apr 2022
    For RPM-based distros, like Alma, CentOS, RHEL, and Rocky, you can use something like this to more easily manage pulling content in your RHEL/RHEL-clone local repository server. Try to add your content into something like /repo/daily/distro_name/. Note, you will need to make a few changes to theupstream_syncscript to allow it to handle EL 8 modular metadata. It's like two additional flags under thecreaterepo` section ... I'll see if I can find them.
  • How do you download a RPM by name and version, using Python or terminal?
    2 projects | /r/redhat | 24 Feb 2022
    Start here. You need access to Red Hat CDN; otherwise known as a subscription and related certificate. You don't need that for CentOS or OEL (public). You just need to know what repositories you want to pull from.

  • What is an appropriate way to install debian packages in a completely air-gapped environment?
    3 projects | /r/devops | 6 Dec 2023
  • About nautilus-typeahead
    3 projects | /r/debian | 2 Jun 2023
    You should ask in the upstream bug tracker (is it this one? https://github.com/lubomir-brindza/nautilus-typeahead). First step is to get it to build for Debian manually/locally - i.e. patch the official nautilus Debian package. Then it's easy to setup a personal APT repository with aptly
  • WSUS Alternative solution for Linux Systems
    2 projects | /r/sysadmin | 23 Mar 2023
    Exactly what aptly is for. No idea about CentOS side, for that we just had rsync from official repo + some scripts
  • Zabbix in isolated environment
    1 project | /r/zabbix | 12 Jan 2023
    I'm not sure if this is an option, because it might break the isolation model, but you could setup repo mirrors in whatever tool of choice you like, but for Debian/Ubuntu, I think aptly is really featureful.
  • How can I automate .deb GPG signing procedure?
    1 project | /r/devops | 10 Nov 2022
    I know that it is not directly what you asked about, but without knowing how the signed debs are being used, I can say that if you were to use aptly to create an apt repo to house your debs to then be installed on whatever machines offline (assuming network connectivity, which may be an incorrect assumption), it requires you to sign a published repo/mirror, and also requires you to install and trust the key on any systems that you then want to use to install package unless you specifically use [trusted=yes] in the apt repo list file.
  • Are there any extra steps to creating a Debian repository mirror?
    1 project | /r/debian | 17 Sep 2022
    There's also Aptly but I've never used it. Looks neat, though.
  • Archiving Debian ISO
    1 project | /r/DataHoarder | 27 Jun 2022
    I personally just mirror the packages for what ever I'm using with aptly and use the netinstall iso and point it to that local mirror. The netinstall iso will pull any needed updated from the repo.
  • Linux Host Patch Management
    1 project | /r/sysadmin | 27 Jun 2022
    Take a look at Aptly.
  • Centralized patching for Ubuntu
    1 project | /r/sysadmin | 25 May 2022
    Aptly is a purpose-built DEB content management solution. Never used but I've heard good things.
  • Linux Package repo server
    2 projects | /r/linuxadmin | 6 Sep 2021
    The last time I got involved in repo/package management, we used aptly Later moved to Jfrog artifactory. The latter is very expensive.There is also pulp some said it is good, which I personally never managed in production environment, so I can't recommend for or against.
