I manage a mix of Debian and CentOS servers. I have a local DEB repository, kept up-to-date with apt-mirror, on a Debian server. Because this server has so much extra HD space, of 250GB at the moment, I would like to use it as a local RPM repository as well.

The only issue is how to do so. All of the local YUM repository info I have found is for working on an RPM distro. Are the tools available for Debian, would yum-utils and createrepo work, or will I have to create a new server with CentOS?

Debian will be fine to run a mirror/repo.

This how to has what looks to be most of the instructions. Though a google search provides plenty of information on the topic too.

Install your own local Repo server on CentOS 7 https://deviantengineer.com/2016/03/repo-centos7/

The Debian package createrepo exists: https://packages.debian.org/jessie/createrepo

apt-get install createrepo

And yum-utils: https://packages.debian.org/jessie/yum-utils

apt-get install yum-utils
