Proxmox Offline Mirror released!

[wond]

see https://pom.proxmox.com/offline-keys.html#register-refresh-keys and https://pom.proxmox.com/offline-media.html#activating-an-subscription-key

basically, you give POM the server IDs and subscription keys for the offline systems. it will then validate them (since it has network access), and store the validated copy on a medium. if you then give the offline system access to the medium, the helper binary can find the pre-validated subscription info there and add it to the system.

Thanks for the explanation Fabian, now it`s clear for me. Have a good day!

you can just have your own symlink (outside of the POM managed directory for now) that you move whenever you make a new snapshot, until that gets implemented as a built-in feature.

note that the main use case for POM is not as an APT proxy (there are other solutions for that), but for updating air-gapped or heavily restricted installations (that usually don't get very frequent updates either).

Hi Fabian,

I really liked the tool, it is more efficient than the other tools I tested without a doubt.

I will apply some suggested scripts and try to find the best solution, as soon as I find it I will certainly share it here?

I need a mirror because I frequently carry out laboratories and updates require time that I don't have.

Thank you very much again Fabiam, I hope this solution is implemented soon.

Quick solution (maybe not the best).. create a soft link called latest which reads the latest snapshot file: used command is: ln -s ./`ls -rt | tail -n1` latest . You can create a bash routine/script which runs from time to time to validate if a new snapshot file appeared.

Hi Wonder,





I'll follow your tip.

It was really worth it.
