# AptlyServed

AptlyServed is an Ansible-powered solution designed to streamline the deployment and management of a local APT repository served through Nginx. This project encapsulates best practices and modular design, making it easy to deploy and manage Debian package repositories on your network.

## Features

- **Automatic Installation:** Sets up and configures Nginx to serve your APT repository.
- **Easy Package Management:** Easily add or update Debian packages within your repository.
- **Modular Design:** Utilizes Ansible roles for clear separation of concerns.
- **Scalable:** Suitable for everything from small labs to large enterprise environments.

## Requirements

- An Ubuntu Server (18.04 or newer)
- Ansible 2.9 or higher
- SSH access to the target server
- Sudo privileges on the server

## Getting Started

### Installation

1. **Clone the Repository:**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/alilotfi23/AptlyServed.git
cd AptlyServed
```

2. **Set Up Inventory:**
Edit the `inventory` file to include the IP addresses of the servers where you want to deploy the repository.

3. **Configure Variables:**
Open the `vars/main.yml` to set up necessary configurations like repository directory, server name, etc.

4. **Run the Playbook:**
```bash
ansible-playbook -i inventory setup_repo.yml
```
