  1. I think what you want to do is to use apt-mirror to create a local mirror of another repository, which can then be used by other machines on your network.

    Outdated but probably still useful instructions to do this can be found here.

    Edit: Slightly more up-to-date tutorial is found here

    You could use Ubuntu Server with landscape, which is a control panel to deploy updates and install packages for remote Ubuntu systems.
