Installation • Re: iPXE Install - Debian Bookworm - Local Mirror

Hello,

[..] So after 2 Weeks of testing i'm thinking that's not possible to install Debian with a local Mirror based of a full DVD...Am i right?

If I understand your question correctly, the answer is that, AFAIK, the Debian Installer DVD ISO is not intended to be used to set up a local mirror out of the box.

However, you can use one of your Debian installations to set up a local repository (see [1]) for all the other unattended installations:

1. a program like aptly [2] if you want use the packages contained in the DVD
2. a local apt proxy (like apt-cache-ng [3]), which will locally cache packages downloaded from any official repository and then will serve copies of the downloaded debs for the next requests/installations/updates.

In particular, apt-cache-ng is very easy to configure and it is very efficient. It requires to get packages from outside the local network, of course.

Hope this helps.
