archzfs-plus-kernel

A script to maintain a local repository for kernels needed by archzfs and their relative ZFS packages.

NOTE: ZFS packages are mirrored because updates may force the kernel to update while leaving the headers behind, breaking any eventual dkms. This ensures it won't happen.

Usage

Install dependencies via bundle install.
Simply running archzfs-plus-kernel-update-repo will download all the configured kernel package into the repo subfolder.
Should it be necessary to force an update ignoring the seconds_between_updates setting, use the --force (or -f) parameter.
For other flags run archzfs-plus-kernel-update-repo --help.

Configuration

Setup which kernel versions you want to be in your repo

Kernel flavors to download can be set within config.yml.
You can copy config.yml.sample to config.yml as a starting configuration.

Setup a custom hostname

Within /etc/hosts add the desired hostname:

127.0.0.1 ... archzfs-plus-kernel.local

Add the repository

Add the repository within /etc/pacman.conf BEFORE the [core] repository:

[archzfs-plus-kernel]
Server = http://archzfs-plus-kernel.local/$repo

Configure a webserver

You can setup the webserver of your choice to serve the packages.
A sample configuration for nginx would be:

server
{
  server_name archzfs-plus-kernel.local;
  root /path/to/archzfs-plus-kernel/repo;
  access_log /dev/null;
  error_log /dev/null;
}
