To show the mounted DVD or ISO image of RHEL-7.0.
[root@yum ~]# df -h
/dev/sr0 3.5G 3.5G 0 100% /run/media/root/RHEL-7.0 Server.x86_64
This command will enter the all rpm packages directory from media DVD or local disk iso image.
[root@yum ~]# cd /run/media/root/RHEL-7.0\ Server.x86_64/Packages/
For installing yum server we need to install two rpm packages named vsftpd and createrepo. We install thease package directly from media disk or iso image using rpm command.
[root@yum ~]# rpm -ivh vsftpd-3.0.2-9.el7.x86_64.rpm
warning: vsftpd-3.0.2-9.el7.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID fd431d51: NOKEY
Preparing… ################################# [100%]
package vsftpd-3.0.2-9.el7.x86_64 is installed
[root@yum ~]# rpm -ivh createrepo-0.9.9-23.el7.noarch.rpm
warning: createrepo-0.9.9-23.el7.noarch.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID fd431d51: NOKEY
Preparing… ################################# [100%]
package createrepo-0.9.9-23.el7.noarch is installed
Now, need to start and enable the vsftpd service. Enable is used for automatically start any service after booting the machine.
[root@yum ~]# systemctl start vsftpd
[root@yum ~]# systemctl enable vsftpd
To enable the firewall need to allow the ftp service.
[root@yum ~]# firewall-cmd – -permanent – -add-service=ftp
Success
[root@yum ~]# firewall-cmd – -reload
Success
To copy the all rpm Packages to pub directory with parent :
[root@yum ~]# cd /run/media/root/RHEL-7.0\ Server.x86_64/
[root@yum ~]# cp -pfrv Packages/ /var/ftp/pub/
real 5m23.665s
user 0m0.287s
sys 1m43.170s
This command will remove the default repo file or keep file as backup.
[root@yum ~]# rm -fr /etc/yum.repos.d/packagekit-media.repo
or
[root@yum ~]# mv /etc/yum.repos.d/packagekit-media.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/packagekit-media.repo.bak
For installing rpm package using yum command need to create new repo file with proper syntax.
[root@yum ~]# vim /etc/yum.repos.d/yum.repo
