It's very easy:

- Place your .deb files somewhere such as $HOME/Desktop/local-repo

- Install apache:

Code:

sudo apt-get install apache2

- Start server:

Code:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start

(To stop the server use sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop)

- Add packages to /var/www/html/debian

Code:

rm /var/www/html/debian/*.deb
rm /var/www/html/*.deb
cp $HOME/Desktop/local-repo/* /var/www/html/debian

- Copy to /var/www/html

Code:

cp $HOME/Desktop/local-repo/* /var/www/html

- In /var/www/html/debian, run this

Code:

cd /var/www/html/debian
dpkg-scanpackages . /dev/null | gzip -9c > Packages.gz

- Add /etc/apt/sources.list.d/official-package-repositories.list add:

Code:

deb http://127.0.1.1/debian/ /

- To /etc/apt/preferences add:

Code:

Package: *
Pin: origin 127.0.1.1
Pin-Priority: 1000

- Run:

Code:

apt-get update
