ActiveDebianSync Ubuntu support

Mirroring Ubuntu distributions alongside Debian repositories

Back to the ActiveDebianSync main section

ActiveDebianSync supports mirroring Ubuntu distributions alongside Debian repositories.
This enables you to maintain a complete local mirror for both Debian and Ubuntu-based systems.

The Ubuntu mirroring feature provides:

Full release mirroring: Main release packages for any Ubuntu version

Pockets support: -updates, -security, -backports, and -proposed

Component selection: main, restricted, universe, multiverse

LTS detection: Automatic recognition of LTS releases

Archived releases: Support for EOL releases via old-releases.ubuntu.com

Security mirror: Automatic use of security.ubuntu.com for current releases

Enable Ubuntu repository synchronization in your config.json:

{
  "sync_ubuntu_repository": true,
  "ubuntu_mirror": "http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu",
  "ubuntu_releases": ["jammy", "noble"],
  "ubuntu_architectures": ["amd64"],
  "ubuntu_components": ["main", "restricted", "universe", "multiverse"]
}
