I've made a full clone of Ubuntu packages repo (about 230 GB), and running a local VM as my repo server.
What command can I use to list ALL packages contained within that repo?

Locally (that is, on the server), you can run:

find /location/of/repo/ -type f -name '*.deb'

Remotely, you can fetch the Packages file and grep it:

wget -qO - http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/trusty-security/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz 

  | zgrep -Po '(?<=^Package: ).*'
