Setting up Debian repositories with JFrog Artifactory

While I was searching for how I use Artifactory as Debian repository, I came across official Artifactory documentation: How do I cache artifacts from a remote Debian repository?. But, it did not work because there is no apt-add-repository command as documentation mentioned. I had to figure out the correct way by myself and following steps worked for me.

Resources

• Debian stable updates
• Debian security updates

Current Setup

Operating system:

root@debian:~# cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="9"
VERSION="9 (stretch)"
ID=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/"

Default /etc/apt/sources.list:

root@debian:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch main
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian stretch-updates main
deb http://security.debian.org stretch/updates main

Let's Do It!

Create Debian remote repositories in Artifactory(http://repo.mycompany.com):

• Repository Key: deb.debian.org, URL: http://deb.debian.org
• Repository Key: security.debian.org, URL: http://security.debian.org/debian-security

Remove default /etc/apt/sources.list and create our own:

# I do know I could use '>' instead of adding extra line to remove the file ;)
root@debian:~# rm /etc/apt/sources.list \
  && echo 'deb http://repo.mycompany.com/artifactory/deb.debian.org stretch main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list \
  && echo 'deb http://repo.mycompany.com/artifactory/deb.debian.org stretch-updates main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list \
  && echo 'deb http://repo.mycompany.com/artifactory/security.debian.org stretch/updates main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list

Test it:

root@debian:~# apt-get update
