aptly VS Satis

If all you care about is mirroring the repos, look at aptly, it will do exactly what you want, if you want to mirror packages at the “edge.” It also has the added benefit of being able to snapshot the mirrors, meaning all devices with consistent kernels, packages, et al. You can even mirror ESM repos with some elbow grease if needed. Source: over 2 years ago

I update the repo via a tool called aptly (https://aptly.info). At some point I will probably try to automate based on GitHub releases. Source: over 2 years ago

Note: Satis is a local repo repository — the pro code is likely not on github. They set up their own system to handle these repositories outside of github/packagist. Source: over 1 year ago

If you want/need to self-host this internally, you can look at satis to create and self-host a repository. Since you need to add the packages manually, your security team can vet the code before adding it. There is a post on gitconnected on how to set this up: https://levelup.gitconnected.com/how-to-host-your-own-private-packagist-for-free-or-extremely-cheap-faf44eca3647. Source: over 1 year ago

We have a private Satis instance. Our ITSec team reviews all packages before we add them to Satis. Packagist.com is available for us but the CI-CD servers can reach only the private Satis. Source: almost 2 years ago

My team and I use Satis to accomplish that. It's hosted on our servers and we can easily release new versions. Dependabot can even upgrade the dependencies if new ones are detected. Source: almost 2 years ago

Composer supports multiple types of custom respositories, so you can host your own repository (with something like Satis), pay for a packagist.com private repository or even use a VCS repository to fetch packages directly from your private GIT repos. Source: about 2 years ago
