Setup local PureOS mirror

I’d like to setup a local mirror of the PureOS repos so I can update air-gapped computers, as discussed in this thread. What’s the best way to do that?

Maybe: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianRepository/Setup#ftpsync or https://wiki.debian.org/DebianRepository/Setup#debmirror

Some of the documentation linked does make the observation that you should ask the question as to whether a local mirror is the best option. Conversely, for a truly air-gapped network, it is doubtful as to whether either of the above by itself will be adequate.

It makes sense also to ask whether you want to mirror sources and then build from sources yourself or you want to mirror compiled results.

I’m sure other Purism customers will be interested if you can describe your final procedure and setup - if that would be within your privacy / security requirements.
