Iv setup a local REPO where I have downloaded all the packages from Ubuntu.

I have setup two clients one 18.04 and one 20.04. These clients will now download updates from the REPO server
The 18.04 source list /etc/apt/sources.list contains entries:
root@vm-ubuntu18:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list | grep allow
deb [allow-insecure=yes] http://10.0.0.4/ubuntu/mirror/azure.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic main restricted universe multiverse
deb [allow-insecure=yes] http://10.0.0.4/ubuntu/mirror/azure.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb [allow-insecure=yes] http://10.0.0.4/ubuntu/mirror/azure.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ bionic-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb [allow-insecure=yes] http://10.0.0.4/ubuntu/mirror/security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security main restricted universe multiverse
root@vm-ubuntu18:~#
When running the apt update from the 18.04 server it works fine and connects to my REPO.

What should be in the 20.04 source list file to connect to my local REPO with IP 10.0.0.4 and download the packages without errors ?
Thanks
