Set up a yum repository server on CentOS7 system and refer to it locally and from other servers.
Introduction
I don't think there are many other articles like this that are commonplace. I don't know if anyone has a local yum repository at this time, Since I recently built my own rpm distribution server, In addition to the memo of the contents at that time, I decided to participate in Linux Advent Calender 2019.
In addition, I will omit the details of building the repository public part on the Web for the time being, so Please use apache, nginx, etc. to set the repository folder to be public. The contents are beginner level contents. It's easy to create.
This environment
- CentOS7.7.1908 (on AWS)
- CentOS6 (on AWS)
By the way, I regret that I should have done it with CentOS 8 the day before. It may be updated at a later date.
Get ready to create a repository
Install the create repo package to create the repository.
# yum install createrepo
The following packages are also installed as dependencies.
deltarpm
python-deltarpm
Click here for the version of create repo installed this time
[root@yum-server ~]# rpm -qa | fgrep createrepo
createrepo-0.9.9-28.el7.noarch
[root@yum-server ~]#
Let's create a repository
Preparation
First, consider the area where you want to create the repository database. Considering the disk size, I think it is recommended to create a place.
If it is an on-premise server, it is an area with many disk balls. Or if it is AWS etc., it may be good to insert an additional area. Apart from that, I think that there is no problem if I / O is not used locally, so it is your own policy.
Create a directory
This time, we will secure the area below.
/var/yum-repo
In addition, this time it will be possible to publish for multiple CentOS versions I will also try the following policy.
/ var / yum-repo / centos / [CentOS version number] / rpms
If you want to divide by architecture, you can use x86_64 after CentOS version number.
I think it would be better to divide by noarch etc.
(If you do rpmbuild, rpm will be created in arch hierarchy units, so that seems to be good)
Actually place the rpm
For example, if you have rebuilt it yourself, put it down.
This time, I will use it as a sample by dropping the rpm from the CentOS-Base repository.
It is convenient to use # yumdownloader [package name] etc. when downloading rpm.
This time, we will use the wget rpm, which is easy to understand and has no dependencies.
[root@yum-server rpms]# ls -ltr
total 548
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 560272 May 17 00:48 wget-1.14-18.el7_6.1.x86_64.rpm
[root@yum-server rpms]#
Create repository metadata information
Finally, the createrpo command comes into play.
Since the rpm file information in the directory under the specified scan is imported, I think it will take some time depending on the number. This time it was one, so it was completed immediately.
# createrepo -d [hierarchy to create metadata]
[root@yum-server 7]# pwd
/var/yum-repo/centos/7
[root@yum-server 7]# createrepo -d ./

If you perform create repo, repo data will be created under the directory specified by the argument.
The rpm information under the directory specified by the argument is fetched.
The xml related information is stored as follows.
[root@yum-server 7]# ls -ltr

[root@yum-server repodata]#
This completes the metadata creation.
If you go with this repository creation policy, I think that you created directories for each version of CentOS, so
If you have a CentOS 6 version, please do create repo there as well.
Yum.conf settings for each client server
Local server edition
I'm a little wondering if it needs to be used on a local server, but it can be read by creating a yum repository file like the one below.
Set
[root@yum-server yum.repos.d]# pwd
/etc/yum.repos.d
[root@yum-server yum.repos.d]#
[root@yum-server yum.repos.d]# vim local.repo
[local-repo]
enabled=0
name= local-repo of the year.
baseurl=file:///var/yum-repo/centos/$releasever
[root@yum-server yum.repos.d]#
Specify the local file path (the hierarchy where the metadata exists) for the baseurl part.
Also, if you use $ releasever, the Major version of the OS will be assigned.
Probably it is used in CentOS-Base repository etc., so I think that it is understood somehow.
You can check the details of the details in man yum.conf.
By the way, since ʻenabled = 0`, it is not normally read.
See the repository
I have set up for local reference under yum.repos.d, so let's check if it can be read.
Since it is troublesome to change the valid flags of other Base repositories etc. on the file, Disable other than the repository added this time with a wildcard on the yum command, Only enable the name of the repository you created and make sure you have a repository reference.
[root@yum-server 7]# yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=local-repo repolist
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
repo id repo name status
local-repo/7 local-repo of the year. 1

[root@yum-server 7]#
I was able to confirm that there is only one package that is safely referenced and managed.
If you want to install and check it, you can also install it.
[root@yum-server 7]# yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=local-repo install wget

Remote server edition
And for remote references. Basically, just set the repository information in the client you want to refer to the created repository in the same way as the local reference.
Publish the repository
First, publish the repository directory on the Web on the server where you created the repository earlier so that you can refer to it remotely. Please use whatever you like, such as apache or nginx.
As mentioned at the beginning, the procedure here is omitted.
Set yum on the client side
It is a setting that feels like it was set locally.
[root@yum-client ~]# cat /etc/yum.repos.d/local.repo
[local-repo]
enabled=0
name= local-repo of the year.
baseurl=http://[Public web address]/centos/$releasever
[root@yum-client ~]#
Also check if the repository can be read here as well.

If you want to add the package to the repository, you need to update it.

at the end
――If you are creating your own build or need to publish it in-house, you can easily create it, so let's do it. --It seems that you can refer to the repository of git as long as you can read the metadata (although it seems to be a load)
