Repository proxy server aka satellite server for Redhat family.

This setup is done on Oracle Linux v9.5.

Preparations

vi /etc/hosts
add local ip to local host

dnf repolist
# disable repos in /etc/yum.repo.d


hostnamectl hostname lt58ncp1sat1

configure and attach disk for repositories (bear in mind that it will grow, consider LVM) prepare repo dir (to mounted disk)

mkdir  /mnt/repo
mkdir -p /usr/share/nginx/html/repos

dnf update
dnf install \
    createrepo \
    yum-utils \
    wget

Install webserver to serve packages

dnf install nginx
systemctl start nginx
systemctl enable nginx
systemctl status nginx
ss -ntap | grep nginx

cd /etc/nginx/
ls -la
vi conf.d/repos.conf

# webserver config here
```bash
nginx -t

SElinux

chcon -Rt httpd_sys_content_t /usr/share/nginx/html/repos
getenforce

Remove old repos

rm /etc/yum.repos.d/*

Add Oracle Linux official repositories

here

Add EPEL repos

dnf install epel-release

Add ClusterControl repo and keys

wget http://www.severalnines.com/downloads/cmon/s9s-repo.repo -P /etc/yum.repos.d/
rpm --import http://repo.severalnines.com/severalnines-repos.asc
rpm --import http://repo.severalnines.com/s9s-tools/CentOS_9/repodata/repomd.xml.key

Add MariaDB repo

curl -LsS https://r.mariadb.com/downloads/mariadb_repo_setup | sudo bash

Check repositories list

dnf repolist

Sync repos to the local storage (it will take time)

export dir="/usr/share/nginx/html/repos/"
dnf reposync -g --delete -p ${dir} --repoid=baseos           --newest-only --download-metadata
dnf reposync -g --delete -p ${dir} --repoid=appstream        --newest-only --download-metadata
dnf reposync -g --delete -p ${dir} --repoid=addons           --newest-only --download-metadata
dnf reposync -g --delete -p ${dir} --repoid=crb              --newest-only --download-metadata
dnf reposync -g --delete -p ${dir} --repoid=mariadb-main     --newest-only --download-metadata
dnf reposync -g --delete -p ${dir} --repoid=mariadb-maxscale --newest-only --download-metadata
dnf reposync -g --delete -p ${dir} --repoid=mariadb-tools    --newest-only --download-metadata
dnf reposync -g --delete -p ${dir} --repoid=s9s-repo         --newest-only --download-metadata
dnf reposync -g --delete -p ${dir} --repoid=s9s-tools        --newest-only --download-metadata
