Hi,

I'd like to set up a package cache on the vzserver for the containers, so I can run something like a general update/upgrade of all machines without having to download repositories and packages for each container.

Has anybody already tried this? The server and all the containers are running debian-4-x86_64.

Hello,

unfortunately, there is no native OpenVZ tool for these purposes. But don't you want to set up repository cache with apt-cacher inside one of your VE?

How would that solve the problem, and how do I do it?

I see. I suppose there's no reason it can't be on the vzserver, and putting

for i in `vzlist|grep running|awk '{print $1}'`;do vzctl exec $i 'apt-get update && apt-get upgrade'; done

in a cronjob would do what I need?

Only if you set up apt-cacher and update sources.list inside containers because you have a request:

without having to download repositories and packages for each container.
