tfhartmann/mrepo repository overview

⁠MREPO

Mirror and Serve Package Repos

⁠Mirror Repos

docker run -it --rm tfhartmann/mrepo

Mirror Repos and start apache to serve them over port 80

docker run -p 80:80 -it -e WEB=True tfhartmann/mrepo

Mirror Repos onto a shared file system - This allows your repos to persist after the container had gone to the bit bucket.

docker run -it --rm -v /nfs/filesystem/repo:/mrepo tfhartmann/mrepo

Mirror just one repo (for any dist it exists in) docker run -it --rm -v -e REPO=epel tfhartmann/mrepo

Mirror repose and freeze/lock the CentOS repo docker run -it --rm -e FROZEN=centos6-x86_64 -v /nfs/filesystem/repo:/mrepo tfhartmann/mrepo

Run the container but overide the default repo config file. Use this to define the repos you want for your site

docker run -it --rm -v /mrepo/config/repos.conf:/etc/mrepo.conf.d/repos.conf tfhartmann/mrepo

⁠Environment Variables

⁠WEB

Passing any value to the WEB variable will start apache at the end of the mrepo run, in a typical run you might pass -e WEB=True This starts apache after mrepo runs, and will continue to serve the /mrepo/wwwdir until the container is stoped or killed.

⁠FROZEN

This variable takes a single argument, which must be the format "$dist-$arch" and must match the directory in the mrepo srcdir for the repo you want to freeze/lock. You must also have a repo definition in your distro config called 'frozen'

For example, if you wanted to lock a CentOS repo that was configured like this:

[centos6.6]
name = CentOS $release ($arch)
release = 6.6
arch = x86_64
os = http://archive.kernel.org/centos-vault/$release/os/$arch/
centosplus = http://archive.kernel.org/centos-vault/$release/centosplus/$arch/
updates = http://archive.kernel.org/centos-vault/$release/updates/$arch/
extras = http://archive.kernel.org/centos-vault/$release/extras/$arch/
frozen = file:///mrepo/$dist-$arch/frozen

The value of the frozen variable would be centos6-x86_64

FROZEN Should only be passed once for each repo you want to freeze. It locks the repo at a particular point in time, and passing the FROZEN variable multiple times would updated the frozen repo to the most current version of the packages.

⁠UPDATE

UPDATE defaults to the string "True" and causes mrepo to run with the -guv argument. It can be passed as anything other then true if you want to run this container, but do not want to updated your configured mirrors.

⁠DIST

Name of the dist to update, defaults to empty, so all dists are updated.

⁠VERBOSE

Cranks up verbosity of mrepo so you can see what its doing
