=====Repo Mirror Using Rocky Linux 9===== https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Rsyncmirror \\ https://computingforgeeks.com/create-local-centos-7-centos-6-mirrors/ Plan is to create a slimmed down mirror of CentOS 7, Rocky Linux 8, Rocky Linux 9 ELRepo, Remi PHP Repo, Zimbra Repo, ZFS on Linux Repo and others for internal systems (not as a public mirror or as an archive). Starting with a 500GB disk. ====Base Install==== * Download and install Rocky Linux 9 minimal, setup FQDN and set static IP, enable NTP and set timezone, set root password, use LVM for partitioning, select minimal software. ==Install Misc Tools, Create Sudo User and Reboot== dnf install unzip wget vim tar rsync dnf update useradd example_user && passwd example_user usermod -aG wheel example_user shutdown -r now ==Disallow root login over SSH== * Login using sudo user sudo rm /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/01-permitrootlogin.conf * Restart sshd sudo systemctl restart sshd ====Setup/Sync Repos CentOS/Rocky==== * Create Repo Dirs sudo mkdir -p /var/mirror/pub/centos/7 sudo mkdir -p /var/mirror/pub/rocky/8 sudo mkdir -p /var/mirror/pub/rocky/9 sudo mkdir -p /var/mirror/pub/epel/7 sudo mkdir -p /var/mirror/pub/epel/8 sudo mkdir -p /var/mirror/pub/epel/9 sudo mkdir -p /var/mirror/pub/remi/enterprise/7/php74 sudo mkdir -p /var/mirror/pub/remi/enterprise/8 sudo mkdir -p /var/mirror/pub/remi/enterprise/9 sudo mkdir -p /var/mirror/pub/debian ==Repo Mirror Script for CentOS== https://gist.github.com/didip/4506837 * Create file centos.sh and chmod +x it Note: there are excludes so that only the packages I want are synced, modify to your needs #!/bin/bash # Number of arguments should be at least 1 if [ $# -lt 1 ]; then echo "Usage: $0 centos-version-number" exit 1 fi VERSION=$1 # Change these variables as appropriate LOCK_FILE=/tmp/centos_mirror_rsync_updates DOWNLOAD_LOCATION=rsync://mirrors.kernel.org/centos TARGET_DIR=/var/mirror/pub/centos RSYNC_RETVAL=1 if [ -f $LOCK_FILE ]; then echo "CentOS updates via rsync already running." exit 0 fi echo "Starting rsync from $DOWNLOAD_LOCATION/$VERSION to $TARGET_DIR/$VERSION..." mkdir -p $TARGET_DIR/$VERSION touch $LOCK_FILE # add --exclude as necessary rsync -avSHP --delete --delete-excluded --copy-links --exclude "atomic" --exclude "cloud" --exclude "configmanagement" --exclude "cr" --exclude "dotnet" --exclude "fasttrack" --exclude "infra" --exclude "messaging" --exclude "nfv" --exclude "opstools" --exclude "paas" --exclude "rt" --exclude "sclo" --exclude "storage" --exclude "virt" $DOWNLOAD_LOCATION/$VERSION $TARGET_DIR/ RSYNC_RETVAL=$?

Create dir for gpg file: sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/keyring Copy the debian-archive-keyring.gpg file to /usr/share/keyring Import the key: gpg --keyring /usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg --export | gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring trustedkeys.gpg --import Run the mirror sync sudo ./debmirror ====ZFS on Linux==== wget -r -np -nH -N http://download.zfsonlinux.org/epel/8/ -P /var/mirror/pub/zfs wget -r -np -nH -N http://download.zfsonlinux.org/epel/9/ -P /var/mirror/pub/zfs wget -r -l1 -np -nH -N "http://download.zfsonlinux.org/epel" -P /var/mirror/pub/zfs -A "*.rpm" Note: when using the -N flag, it seems to check only the index.html file at the root of each folder and use that to determine if there are newer files. If you delete an rpm file in a subdirectory and run wget again it won't download the new file. If you delete the index.html in the subdirectory of the deleted rpm file it still won't re-download. You have to delete the index.html in parent folders as well as the final folder for the rpm file to be re-downloaded using the -N flag. ====Install Apache==== ==Configure hosts== sudo vim /etc/hosts *Add a line for your FQDN 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4 ::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6 192.168.10.30 mirror.domainname.com mirror ==Install Apache and Configure Firewall== sudo dnf install httpd httpd-tools sudo systemctl enable httpd sudo systemctl start httpd sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=http sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=https sudo firewall-cmd --reload ====Dell Server Updates (not working, not sure how to use DSU with a local mirror)==== https://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/omsa.html#Creating_a_local_mirror \\ **Note: The excludes listed below we configured to support a Dell Poweredge T350 on November 4th 2024 for RHEL 8/9.
