Artifactory to Artifactory remote repos

Question

i have 2 Artifactory server and have configured ubuntu repos. One off the artifactorys goes to internet to ubuntu and the other artifactory connects to the artifactory with internet access.

I have the following problem. From my local artifactory i get always the error 404. I cant fetch the metafile (Packages) from the ubuntu repo.

But if i reconfigure my remote repo and set --> store artifacts locally all seems fine.

I want store the artifacts locally. My local artifactory should ask the artifactory with internet access and should get all files from the remote artifactory.

Have anyone a idea how to solve my problem?

best regards

I assume you are trying to set up a smart remote repository with Artifactory. Refer to this wiki and set up the smart remote repository, basically, you should be adding the URL in your local Artifactory's remote repository as http://ARTIFACTORY_URL/ubuntu-remote/ and make sure the "store artifacts locally"is checked so that this remote repository can able to index the artifacts.
