General Discussion / Re: Setting up OPNsense mirror

« on: September 17, 2023, 05:19:31 pm »

Thanks for starting this thread! My contribution is a slightly more flexible script which only mirrors the latest versions, e.g. FreeBSD:13:amd64/23.7, but all the patch levels underneath. It also doesn't clean up older copies.  Adding --delete-after --delete-excluded to the rsync command would take care of that auto-magically. Of course, change the values of MIRROR and LOCAL_MIRROR for your situation. I'm running this once per week in cron.

Code: [Select]

#!/usr/bin/env bash

MIRROR="mirror.wdc1.us.leaseweb.net"
LOCAL_MIRROR="/export/home2/mirror"
REPOPATH="opnsense"

# Determine latest major FreeBSD release offered
RELEASE=$(rsync rsync://${MIRROR}/${REPOPATH}/ |& \
grep FreeBSD | grep amd64 | tail -1 | awk '{print $5}')
REPOPATH="${REPOPATH}/$RELEASE"

# Determine latest opnsense release offered
REV=$(rsync rsync://${MIRROR}/${REPOPATH}/ |& \
grep -v snapshots | tail -1 | awk '{print $5}')

# Retrieve the repository, using as much local information as is available (-y)
rsync --archive -Py \
--exclude=LibreSSL \
--exclude=libressl \
--hard-links \
--numeric-ids \
--stats \
rsync://${MIRROR}/${REPOPATH}/$REV ${LOCAL_MIRROR}/${REPOPATH}
