Cherry's blog: RHEL8 - Create Local HTTP Yum/DNF Repository

A. Yum Server

1.      Install package httpd, createrepo
2.      Mount iso image for rhel8, edb4rhel8
[root@yum-server conf.d]# df –h
…
/dev/loop1              13G   13G     0 100% /edb
/dev/loop2              14G   14G     0 100% /rhel8
3.      Copy all files from mount disks to repository
[root@yum-server ~]# cp -r /rhel8/* /source/www/html/repo
[root@yum-server ~]# cp -r /edb/* /source/www/html/repo/EDB
4.      Create Repository Metadata
[root@yum-server ~]# createrepo /source/www/html/repo/BaseOS
[root@yum-server ~]# createrepo /source/www/html/repo/AppStream
[root@yum-server ~]# createrepo /source/www/html/repo/EDB

[root@yum-server ~]# ls -l /source/www/html/repo
total 400
dr-xr-xr-x 4 root root   4096 Jun 5 09:14 AppStream
dr-xr-xr-x 4 root root   4096 Jun 5 09:13 BaseOS
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 331776 Jun 5 09:24 EDB
dr-xr-xr-x 3 root root   4096 Jun 5 08:59 EFI

-r--r--r-- 1 root root   1796 Jun 5 09:05 TRANS.TBL
5.      Configuring Local Repository
[root@yum-server ~]# ls -l /etc/yum.repos.d/
…
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 504 Jun 5 09:23 rhel8.repo
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 5135 Jun 4 13:40 RPM-GPG-KEY-RHEL8 (copy from RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release and rename)

[root@yum-server ~]# vi /etc/yum.repos.d/rhel8.repo
[rhel8u10_baseos]
name=Local - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.10 - BaseOS
baseurl=file:///source/www/html/repo/BaseOS/
gpgkey=file:///etc/yum.repos.d/RPM-GPG-KEY-RHEL8
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1

[rhel8u10_appstream]
name=Local - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.10 - Appstream
baseurl=file:///source/www/html/repo/AppStream/
gpgkey=file:///etc/yum.repos.d/RPM-GPG-KEY-RHEL8

enabled=1

[edb4rhel8]
name=Local - Enterprise Database for RHEL8/OL8
baseurl=file:///source/www/html/repo/EDB/
gpgcheck=0

6.      Testing Local Repository
[root@yum-server ~]# dnf clean all
[root@yum-server ~]# dnf repolist -v
…

7.      Configuring HTTPD
-        Start httpd
o   [root@yum-server ~]# systemctl start httpd.service
o   [root@yum-server ~]# systemctl enable httpd.service
-        Edit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
o   ServerName yum-server.taolaoxibup.com:80
o   Directory "/source/www/html/repo"
o   DocumentRoot "/source/www/html/repo"
-        Restart httpd
o   [root@yum-server ~]# systemctl restart httpd.service
B. Client
1.      Setup Local Yum Repository
[root@xxx-app ~]# vi /etc/yum.repos.d/edb4rhel8.repo
[rhel8u10_baseos]
name=Local - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.10 - BaseOS
baseurl=http://yum-server.taolaoxibup.com/BaseOS
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1

[rhel8u10_appstream]
name=Local - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.10 - Appstream

[edb4rhel8]
name=Local - Enterprise Database for RHEL8/OL8
baseurl=http://yum-server.taolaoxibup.com/EDB/
gpgcheck=0

2.      Verify the configuration
[root@xxx-app ~]# dnf clean all
[root@xxx-app ~]# dnf repolist -v

C. How to connect to Oracle Linux Yum Server

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9

1. Import the Oracle Linux GPG key
[root@postgres-master ~]# wget https://yum.oracle.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle-ol9 -O /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle
[root@postgres-master ~]# cd /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/
[root@postgres-master rpm-gpg]# gpg --quiet --keyid-format 0xlong --with-fingerprint RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle

2. Ceate a temporary yum repository configuration file // creating /etc/yum.repos.d/ol9-temp.repo with the following as the minimum required content:

[ol9_baseos_latest]
name=Oracle Linux 9 BaseOS Latest ($basearch)
baseurl=https://yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL9/baseos/latest/$basearch/
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-oracle
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1

3. Install oraclelinux-release-el9:
[root@postgres-master ~]# dnf install oraclelinux-release-el9

4. Remove ol9-temp.repo and any other remaining repo files that may conflict with Oracle Linux yum server:
[root@postgres-master ~]# mv /etc/yum.repos.d/ol9-temp.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/ol9-temp.repo.disabled

5. Verify yum repository
[root@postgres-master ~]# ls -l /etc/yum.repos.d/
total 16
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 2792 May 1 16:13 oracle-linux-ol9.repo
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 358 Jun 6 11:01 redhat.repo
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 407 May 1 16:13 uek-ol9.repo
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 229 May 1 16:13 virt-ol9.repo

[root@postgres-master ~]# dnf clean all
[root@postgres-master ~]# dnf repolist
