Well, it works exactly as I expect it to work. My data is stored on a NFS share for convenience and backup facilities. Nevertheless, I don't have any other HTTP server on my private network able to serve these directories. And I am not allowed by my company's security policy to let servers or workstations access this share ; only my cobbler server is in the ACL. Thus, I have to provide access to the repositories through cobbler's httpd. I would really prefer having a --available-as option like 'cobbler import' has. But this would probably be not that easy considering the repository can be an http server over the internet... > > > > ln -s <path_to_your_repository> > > /var/www/cobbler/repo_mirror/<repository_name> > > > > Unfortunately, cobbler doesn't do that automaticaly (or I haven't > > found how...) > > Just do: > > cobbler repo add --name=<repository_name> > --mirror=http://server/mystuff/repo_path --mirror-locally=N > > It does not need to be served up from a directory that cobbler manages. > > > > -- > > Fabien > > > > 2009/2/18 Léon Keijser <[email protected] > > <mailto:[email protected]>> > > > > On Wed, 2009-02-18 at 10:23 -0500, Rodrique Heron wrote: > > > We already have a local server mirroring apt sources and I would > > just > > > like to tell Cobbler to use it instead of downloading everything to > > > the cobbler server.
