Linux counterpart to Microsoft WSUS [xUbuntu 16.04 Server]
I was wondering if there is a way to configure on of your Ubuntu servers so it will download all the necessary security updates for your OS and your packages on it's own (via cron-job) in some kind of local repository, where other Ubuntu servers in your network without internet access can load their updates from?
I can do the part with the cron-job on my own, that's not the problem.
What I don't find, is a tutorial to configure your server as an equivalent to WSUS for Linux.
Is there a way like adding a repository to /etc/apt/sources.list ?
Thank you for your help!

It would be difficult to provide support for the myriad of problems that comes with Ubuntu each update. You can use Cubic to preload your own ISO. It allows you to use a terminal the same way you would on a regular install as well as strip it down to make it smaller. I recommend running it within a VM because chroot can affect the host system.
