installing debian from a local repository
up vote

I have created a local repository in a debian virtual machine (I'm using virtualbox) by copying packages from iso images into the directory /var/www/html/packages/amd64/ (apache2 is already installed) and now I'm trying to figure out how install the debian os on another machine using only the netinst iso image and my local repository.
is there a way that I can enter my local repository's address (192.168.213.9) during the installation instead of a debian archive mirror hostname? if not then is there a way to use apt to automatically install all required packages after finishing the minimal installation and modifying the sources.list file?

Welcome. Maybe you are looking for the TFTP boot (netbooting), Installing Debian using network booting and Preparing Files for TFTP Net Booting

You would need to set up a mirror structure under the webserver. Alternatively, if you just have a ton of .deb files, stick them in/target/var/cache/apt/archivesduring install, or after the first boot in/var/cache/apt/archives. Indexes, release files, etc. will still come from normal mirrors but deb files won't need to be re-downloaded. If you want a real mirror, they are easy to set up usingapt-mirror

There's more to a Debian repositories than just some packages, so you might not be able to install new hosts from what you have. In addition to doing it all manually, there exists a lot of software for maintaining a (partial) Debian mirror. I've only used it for repositories of private packages, butaptlyshould be useable for your task, and is easy to work with.

ftpsync, aptly, maybe reprepro depending on what you want to mirror. I only setup in the past TFTP boot and local repositories of my own packages. For small settings it may not be worth mirroring.
