Hi I do a lot of testing at home and experimenting so I often have something like 10 virtual installs with opensuse running. Up to recently I had a unofficial mirror for base and update repositories. A simple cron job every night used wget to sync my local repository. By configuring my vm's to use this local repository I avoided downloading the same file again for each vm, during repeated install experiments and system updates. Now I am looking to replace my local mirror with something more flexible, so suggestions, best practice, pointers to examples is welcome. I not sure, but think that I'v seen a article on some Opensuse site, describing a solution based on nfs mounting the download directory on all hosts. Currently I see 3 possibilities: * continue to host a local mirror of selected repositories * configure some kind of nfs sharing between all hosts * add squid to my firewall each has pros and cons as I see it. -- Regards Klaus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
