## Prerequisites
* Ubuntu Server with Nginx and Docker
---
## Creating repository
Repository database is managed via `repo-add` script bundled with Arch Linux `pacman` package manager. Since pacman is not available in Ubuntu repository I use docker `archlinux` image for managing repository. This guide assumes that repository located in `/srv/arch-repo`. First of all move all your packages into /srv/arch-repo. Following command will create or update repository database.
```sh
REPO_URL=repo.sun.hexor.ru
REPO_PATH=/srv/arch-repo
docker run -v ${REPO_PATH}:/repo --rm archlinux \
bash -c "repo-add /repo/${REPO_URL}.db.tar.gz /repo/*pkg.tar.zst"
```
### **Important aspect**
* Name of the database should be REPO_URL.db.tar.gz, in this case REPO_URL is repo.sun.hexor.ru.
---
## Periodically database repo update
I use systemd:
```ini
# Service unit
# /etc/systemd/system/update-arch-repo.service
[Unit]
Description=Updating arch linux repository database for %I
Requires=docker.service
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/docker run -v /srv/arch-repo:/repo --rm archlinux bash -c "repo-add /repo/%i.db.tar.gz /repo/*pkg.tar.zst"
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
```
```ini
# Timer unit
# /etc/systemd/system/update-arch-repo.timer
[Unit]
Description=Schedule arch repo database update for %I
[Timer]
# every 15 minutes
OnCalendar=*:0/15
[Install]
WantedBy=timers.target
```
Activate timer:
```sh
REPO_URL=repo.sun.hexor.ru
systemctl enable update-arch-repo@${REPO_URL}.timer
```
## Reverse proxy for HTTPS access
I use NGINX
```js
server {
server_name repo.sun.hexor.ru;
listen [::]:443 ssl;
listen 443 ssl;
include security.conf; # my security options
include letsencrypt.conf; # my ssl config.
root /srv/arch-repo;
location / {
autoindex on;
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
access_log /var/log/nginx/logs/repo.sun.hexor.ru.access.log custom;
error_log /var/log/nginx/logs/repo.sun.hexor.ru.error.log;
}
```
## Configure repo on your machines
Add your repo to `/etc/pacman.conf`:
```ini
[repo.sun.hexor.ru]
Server = https://repo.sun.hexor.ru
```
