Sometimes it is a good idea or even necessary to have a local mirror of OmniOS available, i.e. if you do not want to allow your severs direct access to the outside world. Setting up a local OmniOS repository is rather simple.<\/p>\n
To create an empty repo, run pkgrepo:<\/p>\n
\r\npkgrepo create \/path\/to\/repo\r\n<\/pre>\n2. Grab packages from remote repo<\/h2>\n
To mirror a remote repository to the newly created local repository, you can use:<\/p>\n
\r\npkgrecv -s http:\/\/pkg.omniti.com\/omnios\/r151014\/ -d \/path\/to\/repo '*'\r\n<\/pre>\nYou could, of course, also restrict it to individual packages or exclude certain packages.<\/p>\n
3. Update the local repository<\/h2>\n
Updating the local repository<\/a> is essentially the same as downloading it. Re-run
pkgrecv<\/code> and new packages will be fetched. Don’t forget to runrefresh<\/code> on the repo afterwards to catalog any new packages found in the repository and update search indexes:<\/p>\n\r\n# pkgrecv -s http:\/\/pkg.omniti.com\/omnios\/r151014\/ -d \/path\/to\/repo omnios '*'\r\n# pkgrepo -s \/path\/to\/repo refresh\r\n<\/pre>\n4. Add the local repository as a publisher<\/h2>\n
You need to tell your server to use your local repository instead of the upstream one:<\/p>\n
\r\n# pkg set-publisher -G '*' -g file:\/\/\/path\/to\/repo\/ omnios\r\n<\/pre>\nFor a more comprehensive documentation of the available options to
set-publisher<\/code> have a look at the ‘Configuring Publishers’ page<\/a> at Oracle.<\/p>\n5. Refresh publisher metadata and install packages<\/h2>\n
After refreshing the publisher metadata you are ready to install packages from your local repository<\/p>\n
\r\n# pkg refresh --full\r\n# pkg install <packagename>\r\n<\/pre>\n6. A note on mirroring ms.omniti.com<\/h2>\n
Creating a mirror of
ms.omniti.com<\/code> works the same as any other repository. Be sure, however, to use the-m all-versions<\/code> flag when downloading the packages into the local repo:<\/p>\n\r\n# pkgrepo create \/path\/to\/ms.omniti.com\/\r\n# pkgrecv -s http:\/\/pkg.omniti.com\/omniti-ms\/ -d file:\/\/\/mnt\/rpm-repo\/omnios\/ms.omniti.com\/ -m all-versions '*'\r\n<\/pre>\nMore options to
pkgrecv<\/code> can be found at Oracle’s pkgrecv manpage<\/a>. To enable the localms.omniti.com<\/code> repository on your machine, run<\/p>\n\r\n# pkg set-publisher -G '*' -g file:\/\/\/path\/to\/ms.omniti.com\/ ms.omniti.com\r\n<\/pre>\nResources and further reading:
