Basically just a bunch of shellscripts for most part, that is run with systemd timers on a PC-like server (consumer components), served via Caddy.

Npm registry is using verdaccio, arch packages is using https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/infrastructure/-/blob... + what is outlined at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:NewMirrors, clojars is just reading the list of packages and downloading them one by one each day.

Not a unified or nicely done setup by any means, just thrown together to solve the problem at hand.

Gitea works really well for this - just choose "new migration" and set the remote up as a mirror - super easy.

I used to do that for my servers. It works quite well but packages update so frequently you don’t see a major benefit
