# Repository Mirroring Tool
[](https://github.com/SUSE/rmt/actions/workflows/integrations.yml)

This tool allows you to mirror RPM repositories in your own private network.
Organization (mirroring) credentials are required to mirror SUSE repositories.
The [SUSE Linux Enterprise RMT Guide](https://documentation.suse.com/sles/html/SLES-all/book-rmt.html) contains
the end-user documentation for RMT. `man` pages for `rmt-cli` are located in the file [MANUAL.md](MANUAL.md).
If you would like to contribute to RMT, please see our [contribution guide](docs/CONTRIBUTING.md).
If you would like to compare RMT to its predecessor SMT, please see our [writeup](docs/smt_and_rmt.md).
## Supported repository types and compressions:
RMT allows mirroring the following types of repositories:
```
(rpm) repomd - fully supported
(deb) debian flat structure - experimental
(deb) debian nested structure - experimental
```
Check [Debian Repository Format](https://wiki.debian.org/DebianRepository/Format) for more information
regarding Debian repository structure and [createrepo](http://createrepo.baseurl.org/) repository
for information about the repomd format.
Due to a huge possible variety of compression formats used in repositories. RMT does support the
following compression formats:
```
(.gz) GNU Gzip compression algorithm
(.bz2) Burrows–Wheeler algorithm
(.zst) Zstandard algorithm
```
If you encounter a repository with different compression and want support in RMT, please open
an [issue](https://github.com/SUSE/rmt/issues) and let the RMT development team know!
## Mirroring non-SUSE repositories using RMT
RMT provides a mechanism to mirror custom repositories, named custom repositories.
```
$ rmt-cli repos custom add
```
For `repomd` based repositories, the URL must lead to the top level directory of the repository (in which the `repodata` directory can be found)
**Example:**
```
$ rmt-cli repos custom add https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/ tumbleweed
```
For `debian` based repositories, the URL must specify the release directory
**Example:**
```
$ rmt-cli repos custom add http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/sid/ debian-unstable
```
