A set of scripts to rapidly deploy local mirrors of DNF/YUM repos to expedite development in an sandboxed network lab
These scripts will setup local mirrors of the selected RHEL version. These repos will syncronize DAILY once installed
*DISCLAIMER: You'll need to have your own Red Hat Subscriptions for this to work for you... *In the case of RHEL 7 - you will also need an ELS subscription too...
*REQUIREMENTS:
-
Plan for at least 150+ GB (or more) per repo to be synced - all repos will be cloned to /var/www/html Ensure /var/www/html has SIGNIFICANT space to accomodate the future size of your mirrors...
-
A separate machine or VM is required for each RHEL version (i.e. you cannot reposync both RHEL * & RHEL9 on the same machine)
-
You will need to create your own .repo files under /etc/yum.repos.d to enable your client systems to leverage these new local mirrors within your lab environments.
-
These mirrors are for your development in-house and may not be shared publicly. Ever.
-
The initial reposync operation WILL take several hours (be patient) In my initial testing for RHEL7 repos, the first sync'ing took over a day and ~250GB of storage One should plan for /var to have between 350-400 GiB of space.
-
WARNING! Do not attempt to run the RHEL9 mirror and the RHEL9 EUS mirrors on the same machine as these must be kept on separate systems.
