Hi All,

I am installing an Ubuntu Server 19-04. The base installation is complete but 
that only contains very few packages. In order to install additional packages 
we need access to the Ubuntu repositories. However, we don’t have internet 
access in the installation system.

I have found some work instructions on how to install/mirror a local repository 
server. So I have used apt-mirror on my local home PC to mirror the s390 
packages from ports.ubuntu.com and uploaded the mirror into our repository 
server. But when I configure the Ubuntu machine to use the mirror it cannot 
find the additional packages that are located in the mirror repositories.

I ran “apt update” but there are quite some remarks regarding the configured 
items, most notably on c-n-f Metadata. So I’m not quite sure if the apt-mirror 
has even mirrored the repository correctly. When I compare my mirror with 
ports.ubuntu.com, I can list the content of, for instance, disco/main. My 
mirror contains the binary-s390x, dep11 and i18n directories. But 
ports.ubuntu.com also contains a directory cnf.

What is needed for building a local repository and configuration of the Ubuntu 
machine to use that mirror?
Met vriendelijke groet/With kind regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
