Description: 
        # docker mirror packages repo
        
        Allows to simulate upstream centos / ubuntu / opensuse
        package repository servers by using a docker container
        which contains a local package mirror.
        
        The scripts in this project allow to build a local package
        mirror using rsync. When ready the rpm/deb packages get
        copied into a docker image which has a small web script
        that mimics the mirrorlist function of the original
        upstream package repository servers.
        
        There is a helper script docker_mirror which can start
        a mirror docker image as container. The --add-hosts
        option prints the line for "docker run" so that calls
        to the original upstream package server get diverted
        to the ip address of the locally running docker container.
        
        Effectively all `"yum install"` or `"zypper install"` or
        `"apt-get install"` commands run locally in the docker 
        network. No internet access required. Without changing 
        repo files. Without special proxy host setups. This is
        faster, allows for reproducible install tests, and it
        can be used in a disconnected environment.
        
        The scripting has also been used with docker-compose
        and ansible deployment setups. Over the years a number
        of package repos have been tested - starting with
        distros from 2016 until today. Even when the upstream
        package repositories get disabled, for being out of
        support, the local docker mirrors continue to work.
