Debian and Ubuntu-ready I2P Repository Mirror Generator(Optionally dockerized, optionally keyless)
This is a script which will set up an I2P apt repository using Ubuntu and
reprepro
(and optionally docker).
It is set up to automatically copy the I2P packages from the corresponding Ubuntu version to the correct Debian version.
The output, which can be mounted as a docker volume using the internal path
/debian_reprepro
, is a fully working Debian and Ubuntu ready I2P repository. It does not require re-signing the I2P packages on the reprepro side(Although this results in a warning from dpkg), meaning it can be automatically scheduled, and it can run either within the docker container or on Ubuntu 22.04 or higher.
I2P Ubuntu Packages Mirror
This setup is an automated tool for downloading, mirroring, and re-signing I2P Ubuntu packages for a Debian repository. When you run it:
- First, it downloads and mirrors the packages from I2P’s launchpad repository.
- Second, it copies the Ubuntu packages to the matching Debian distribution.
- Third, it signs the Debian packages.
- Last, it copies them to the HTTP/S server where they can be provided to the users.
The result is a working repository which will work for both Debian and Ubuntu.
Usage:
Run either:
-
run.sh - OR
-
reprepro.sh
in order to generate a complete, signed Debian repository by setting up the launchpad packages.
Use only one of thse options.
run.sh
uses Docker to generate the repository and leaves a copy of it
it in the
./debian_reprepro
directory.
reprepro.sh
uses the host system directly and leaves a copy of
the repository in the
./debian
directory. If you’ve run either script before, only new packages will be
handled.
When you’re done, use
copy.sh
to copy the files into the web server directory.
Steps for Maintainers:
If you are a package maintainer, you should also:
-
edit README.md with a new entry for the release and generate an index.html file with pandoc:
$EDITOR README.md # make edits here pandoc -o index.html README.md
In order to use the working reprepro configuration in this directory, i.e. to add packages, make sure to
add the
--confdir
argument:
reprepro --confdir ./debian/conf
This will only ensure that you are always using the configuration in this working directory. Running:
. env.sh
will append the argument automatically.
Minimal, Ubuntu-Only Mirror:
If you only want to mirror Ubuntu packages, it is sufficient to run the
go-apt-mirror.sh
script, which
will leave a copy of the repository in the
./ubuntu
directory.
When you’re done, use
copy.sh
to copy the files into the web server directory.
This command:
./go-apt-mirror.sh
Will produce an
ubuntu
directory in the working directory.
This will contain a fully working
apt
repository filesystem containing I2P
.deb
packages.
They are ready to upload to a server.
The primary advantage of doing things this way is that it requires no expertise, whatsoever, and can be run with a
cron
job, like so:
0 5 * * 1 bash -c 'cd /home/user/i2p.reprepro/ && ./go-apt-mirror.sh && cp -rv ubuntu/* /var/www/html/'
