Configure Debian To Use Your Local MIrror

Debian 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.:

Debian 10 (Buster)

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
Copy to clipboard

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

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