UForge Repository on Local Storage

When using local storage, UForge must already be installed, but not configured. Create two directories one for the operating system data and the other for all the user data (for example My Software and images generated).

1. Create the operating system directory, for example: /space/DISTROS

2. Create the user data directory, for example: /space/USER_DATA

3. If you want to create ISO images with UForge then you must copy the ISO skeleton files and mount them to your system, as follows:

   1. Download the ISO that corresponds to the distributions you want. These are divided into two seperate ISOs:

      • CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu
      • Scientific Linux, Open SUSE

   cd /space/DISTROS ; wget https://repository.usharesoft.com/downloads/uforge-centos-debian-ubuntu-iso-installers-latest.iso
   

   or

   cd /space/DISTROS ; wget https://repository.usharesoft.com/downloads/uforge-opensuse-scientific-iso-installers-latest.iso
   

   2. Mount the distribution by running:

      # mount -o loop /space/DISTROS/uforge-centos-debian-ubuntu-iso-installers-latest.iso /mnt
      

   Note

   The example above will mount Centos, Debian and Ubuntu, but the same could be done for Scientific Linux and Open SUSE by modifying the path.

   3. Copy the content of the ISO:

      # rsync -a --progress /mnt/USS /space/DISTROS/
      

   4. Umount the volume:

      # umount /mnt
