Help me pimp my arch mirror (AUR, EOS repos)

General system Pacman
1

Hello!
I am using a local Arch mirror for my (currently, number is growing…) 9 EOS installations in my household. The mirror is working without any hassles and makes installation of new EOS machines or updates of the one without proper internet way more easy (I have a machine in small cabin in my garden with REALLY bad WiFi - this machine was my original motivation…), buuuuut - this machine is also using some AUR packages (namely ungoogled-chromium and librewolf) and the update of those packages fails more often than I like. Can I somehow add AUR packages via a whitelisting or something similar to my arch mirror? Like prebuilding or so? If yes - any guide?
Secend, and this would be the cherry on the cake: Can I add the EOS repos to my mirror? Should I avoid that? The last thing I want to do is doing something harmfull towards EOS…

I was not sure about the category, it seem to fit best here…

Surely just create a directory, build the packages and move the .zst files from the yay cache to this directory and add a name and location to the pacman conf file.

Well thank you, but this sounds cumbersum due to manual efforts. Is there any way to have that automated?

They are aur packages, they mostly need compiling and do not exist in compiled form (unless they are suffixed with a -bin, even then, they need building into .zst packages).
