aptly serve

aptly can serve published repositories using its own embedded webserver. This is not recommended for production use, but is a quick way to try out published repository. 

Command serve starts embedded HTTP server (not suitable for real production usage) to serve contents of public/ subdirectory of aptly’s root that contains published repositories. aptly would print recommended apt-sources for the currently published repositories. By default aptly would listen on port 8080, but this can be changed with flag -listen.

Usage:

$ aptly serve -listen=:8080

Flags:

• -listen=":8080": host:port for HTTP listening

Example:

$ aptly serve -listen=127.0.0.1:8765
Serving published repositories, recommended apt sources list:

# ./maverick (main) [amd64, i386] publishes [snap1]: Snapshot from mirror [gnuplot-maverick]: http://ppa.launchpad.net/gladky-anton/gnuplot/ubuntu/ maverick
deb http://127.0.0.1:8765/ maverick main
# debian/maverick (main) [amd64, i386] publishes [snap2]: Snapshot from mirror [gnuplot-maverick]: http://ppa.launchpad.net/gladky-anton/gnuplot/ubuntu/ maverick
deb http://127.0.0.1:8765/debian/ maverick main

Starting web server at: 127.0.0.1:8765 (press Ctrl+C to quit)...
