RedHat Enterprise Linux 8 changes the way packages are delivered by splitting the main repository that was available on RedHat 7 systems to the below two (link with more information is attached at the bottom of the article)
- BaseOS
- AppStream
As a result when you locally mount a DVD to be used as a repository for packages one should create now two repositories instead of one.
Attach dvd to virtual server, mount directory and create repositories on /etc/yum.repos.d
|
1 2 |
mkdir -p /mnt/disc mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/disc |
Create repository files
|
1 2 |
cd /etc/yum.repos.d touch appstream.repo baseos.repo |
Change permissions to repository files to 0644
|
1 |
chmod 644 appstream.repo baseos.repo |
AppStream
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
[AppStream] name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.2.0 AppStream gpgcheck=0 enabled=1 baseurl=file:///mnt/disc/AppStream |
BaseOS
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
[BaseOs] name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.2.0 BaseOS gpgcheck=0 enabled=1 baseurl=file:///mnt/disc/BaseOS |
Validate that both repos are enabled
