Mirrorlist links not working for Cent OS 6

[sanjaytorinit]

Hello,

The mirrorlist.centos.org links have been moved to vault.centos.org. can you please update the links in the centos 6 docker image and republish it please as I am facing issues in running yum install commands as its not able to determine the mirrors.

Thanks,
Sanjay.

I'm having the same issue. To reproduce it, have Dockerfile:

FROM centos:6

RUN yum update

Then run docker build .:

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, ovl
Setting up Update Process
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: base. Please verify its path and try again
YumRepo Error: All mirror URLs are not using ftp, http[s] or file.
 Eg. Invalid release/repo/arch combination/
removing mirrorlist with no valid mirrors: /var/cache/yum/x86_64/6/base/mirrorlist.txt

docker --version
Docker version 19.03.13, build 4484c46d9d

I realize CentOS 6 just reached its End of Lifetime, though.

Does anyone know where I could get started to help resolve this? I'm happy to create a PR but have no idea where (no CONTRIBUTING.md file in this repo...)

CentOS 6 is EOL and it's moved to vault for a reason. I don't think an update will be accepted anymore.
