hey! I'm starting to make my custom arch-based distro using archiso and I'd like to make a custom repository and host it on my servers so I can add it to my distro, the thing is, how do I start? What should I use to host it to the public? Any help is appreciated ^^
#custom repositories?
proper flame
<@456226577798135808> what are the packages you are going to host?
probably lsb-release for now
just 1 package?
and my custom linux kernel
with headers and stuff
and some aur packages as well
I would recommended uploading that kernel to the aur for easy access
that's actually a good idea but
i only relay on these two files as im using archiso
so if i want custom packages i would probably have to use a custom repository
no?
wait really?
i mean this is what is being pulled from the arch linux repos, how would i implement aur packages in this?
maybe im missing something idk
o yea that's a local one
but im thinking on doing like
a public one
something like idk https://repo.furret.net/something
like
actually host it on the web
if you know what i mean
i do have a domain that i can use and i already have a server set up
proper flame
then this https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unofficial_user_repositories
sounds interesting however
these are just repos that i can use
wait
okay i'm starting to understand more or less how does it work
i guess it's mostly the repo-add command?
try it and see
is the server debian hosted?
@proper flame
proper flame
is the server debian hosted?
i haven't made the server yet
but i do have a reverse proxy that takes care of the requests
I would suggest a debian based server
i thought i had to use arch for this
no
how would it work then
like
i suppose i have to make all of this in the server right?
or am i missing something
is mailing necessary
If you want to inform your users about downtime of your mirror please use the arch-mirrors-announce mailing list.
meh i'll straight up skip that then
proper flame
i ended up using apache and some other thing and it's somewhat working
