Setting up local git mirror
This tutorial explains how to save bandwidth when several local computers need to pull updates from a single remote git repository.
Use case
This tutorial will be about hosting a local mirror of funtoo git based portage tree.
Following terms should be adapted
Terms | Definition |
---|---|
git.lan | The git-daemon local mirror host |
localhost | Any local host |
nobody | Owner user of .git files |
/home/git-mirrors | Base path of git-daemon |
Local mirror
Prepare directories and get portage tree
root # mkdir /home/git-mirrors root # chown nobody /home/git-mirrors root # su -s /bin/sh nobody user $ cd /home/git-mirrors user $ git clone --mirror --bare git://github.com/funtoo/ports-2012.git portage.git
For a security reason we use a nobody user .
git-daemon configuration
/etc/conf.d/git-daemon
GITDAEMON_OPTS=--syslog --verbose --enable=receive-pack --export-all
GITDAEMON_OPTS=${GITDAEMON_OPTS} --base-path=/home/git-mirrors /home/git-mirrors
GIT_USER=nobody
GIT_GROUP=nobody
Service configuration
To start daemon with a mirror machine boot add git-daemon
to default runlevel
root # rc-update add git-daemon default
To make changes start immediately just run rc
root # rc
Pull from remote
Add the following to /etc/cron.daily/funtoo-sync.sh
:
#!/bin/sh cd /home/git-mirrors/portage.git su nobody -s "/bin/sh" -c "git pull"
Cloning from local git-daemon
Local clone from git.lan
:
root # mv /usr/portage /usr/portage.old root # git clone git://git.lan/portage.git /usr/portage root # cd /usr/portage root # git checkout funtoo.org
