How to Serve Multiple Repositories From a Single Location

Language:

Many of the steps in this procedure are the same as the steps in the previous procedure. See the previous procedure for details.

Create a new depot server instance.
Set the path to the repository.
Each pkg/server instance that is managed by a particular pkg/depot instance must have a unique pkg/inst_root value.
Check the readonly property for the new instance.
The default value of the pkg/readonly property is true. If this value has been changed, reset the value to true.
```
$ svcprop -p pkg/readonly pkg/server:studio
true
```
Set the standalone property for the new instance.
By default, the value of the pkg/standalone property is true. Any pkg/server instances whose pkg/standalone property is set to false can be served from the same location by a pkg/depot service instance.
```
$ svccfg -s pkg/server:studio
svc:/application/pkg/server:studio> setprop pkg/standalone=false
svc:/application/pkg/server:studio> refresh
svc:/application/pkg/server:studio> select solaris
svc:/application/pkg/server:solaris> setprop pkg/standalone=false
svc:/application/pkg/server:solaris> refresh
svc:/application/pkg/server:solaris> exit
$
```
Make sure the value of the pkg/inst_root property is unique for each instance of pkg/server whose pkg/standalone property is set to false.
(Optional) Set the port number for the pkg/depot instance.
By default, the port number of the svc:/application/pkg/depot:default service is 80. This port number can be the same as the port number for any of the pkg/server instances that will be managed by this pkg/depot instance. To change the port number, set the config/port property of pkg/depot:default.

Restart the pkg/depot instance.

$ svcadm refresh pkg/depot:default
$ svcadm restart pkg/depot:default

Test that the repository server is working.
When users open the http://localhost:80/ location, they see the http://localhost/solaris repository listed with the solaris publisher, and they see the http://localhost/studio repository listed with the solarisstudio publisher.

If one repository provides packages for multiple publishers, all publishers are listed. For example, users might see the http://localhost/solaris repository listed with the solaris and isvpub publishers.
Set the publisher origin.
Set the publisher origin to one of the following values:
- The unique pkg/inst_root location.
```
$ pkg set-publisher -G '*' -M '*' -g /export/IPSpkgrepos/SolarisStudio/ \
solarisstudio
```
- The location defined by the value of config/port plus the pkg/server instance name.
```
$ pkg set-publisher -G '*' -M '*' -g http://localhost:80/studio/ solarisstudio
```

Next Steps

If you change the content of a repository that is managed by a pkg/depot instance, as discussed in Updating Your Local Repository and Customizing Your Local Repository, perform both of the following steps:

Run pkgrepo refresh on the repository.
Run svcadm restart on the pkg/depot instance.

You can create additional instances of the pkg/depot service where each instance hosts one or more repositories.

To generate a standalone configuration rather than configuring pkg/server and pkg/depot service instances, see the pkg.depot-config(1M) man page.
