Configure Debian To Use Your Local MIrror

After creating your own Debian mirror, you will want to configure your other computers to use it. Replace the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list file with the relevant section based on which version of Debian you are using.:

deb http://MY-MIRROR-IP-OR-DOMAIN/debian/ buster main
deb-src http://MY-MIRROR-IP-OR-DOMAIN/debian/ buster main

deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security buster/updates main

# buster-updates, previously known as 'volatile'
deb http://MY-MIRROR-IP-OR-DOMAIN/debian/ buster-updates main
deb-src http://MY-MIRROR-IP-OR-DOMAIN/debian/ buster-updates main

Debian 9 (Stretch)

deb http://MY-MIRROR-IP-OR-DOMAIN/debian/ stretch main
deb-src http://MY-MIRROR-IP-OR-DOMAIN/debian/ stretch main

#deb http://MY-MIRROR-IP-OR-DOMAIN/debian-security stretch/updates main

deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security stretch/updates main
