Private mirror

[Paulo Celso]

Hi, People...

I'm writing from Brazil and the reason is because we have 5 computers at
home and I would like to save internet connection by enabling a private
mirror.

My name is Paulo Celso
My internet bandwidth is 300 mbps.
Country: Brazil
State: Amazonas, City: Manaus ... "rain forest"

My best regards


Paulo.

[Russell Jones]

Hi Paulo,

You don't need permission or special access to make a private mirror. Just
sync from a public repository.

Thanks for the tip!

just consider that, maybe, keeping your mirror updated makes you spend 
more BW than just having 5 machines updated through the Internet.

I would be surprised if it is the other way around.

I am sure mirroring, even if just updates for example x86_64 architecture, would be more
bandwidth.

Though when you go to update, having the updates *local* is really nice.

Consider running a squid caching proxy server configured to cache large files
(maximum_object_size).

Since your systems will download from various mirrors at random (squid caches data by the
full URL), you have two options:

1.  point your systems to a static regionally-close mirror by commenting mirrorlist= and
pointing baseurl= to your chosen mirror.  Downside is when (not "if") your
chosen mirror has an issue, you'll have to wait or reconfigure your systems again.

2.  to use a storeid_file_rewrite script or store_id_program (check serverfault.com for
details).

Configure yum/dnf to use your proxy with "proxy=" in /etc/yum.conf or
/etc/dnf/dnf.conf.

The first system to do updates will obviously be slow, but subsequent ones should be
fast.  Consider disabling (deltarpm=0) to reduce local client disk I/O.

Squid and caching proxies are complex.  Personally I enjoyed learning the details. 
I'm sure google would lead you to more tips (e.g., "squid and caching dnf
downloads").

You may find pointing your browsers at your squid cache speeds some things up too.  YMMV.

Good luck!

Caching is a very good option, the downside indeed is having to fix the 
source (mirrorlist/baseurl).  Didn't know the storeid_file_rewrite 
option, good to know.


Another option is to use the local plugin to yum/dnf 
(https://fedoramagazine.org/use-the-dnf-local-plugin-to-speed-up-your-home...)

The donwside of the local plugin is that it does not group simultaneous 
requests (as squid does if configured) and it does not delete old 
packages.  To be useful in a local network, you must setup the cache dir 
to a NFS common repo.  And beware of upgrades, since the plugin does not 
isolate release versions.
