How to create a local YUM repository using a RHEL 9 ISO image, assuming the image is mounted on either /mnt or /run in a Linux VM?
Show model answer
To set up a local YUM repository on RHEL 9, follow these steps:
Mount the RHEL 9 ISO to a directory, typically /mnt or /run/media.
Create a repo file under /etc/yum.repos.d/, e.g., rhel9-local.repo.
In the file, add:
- [rhel9-local]
- name=RHEL 9 Local Repository
- baseurl=file:///mnt
- enabled=1
- gpgcheck=0
Adjust baseurl according to the mount point.
Update the repository list using yum update.
This method turns the mounted ISO into a local repository, enabling package installation directly from the ISO image.
