I successfully setup a local package repository on custom server with the following steps
sudo apt-get install apache2
cd /var/www/html
mkdir debian
cp /path/to/mydeb.deb /var/www/html/debian
dpkg-scanpackages debian /dev/null | gzip -9c > debian/Packages.gz
while on the client
vim /etc/apt/sources.list
add deb http://54.68.121.138 debian/to the end of the file
sudo apt-get update
There shows the below warning message
W: The repository 'http://54.68.121.138 debian/ Release' does not have a Release file. N: Data from such a repository can't be authenticated and is therefore potentially dangerous to use. N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.
If I install it by sudo apt-get install mydeb, I will get prompted with
Install these packages without verification? [y/N]
If I enter y I can still successfully install mydeb on the client, but what should I do on the server to make the client thinks the repository is authenticated and verified?
