yum-mirror Cookbook

This cookbook will install all tools to create a local mirror of a yum repository.

Requirements

OS

Tested on CentOS 6.6 with repositories for CentOS 6 and 7.

Cookbooks

• yum - yum-mirror needs yum to add repositories

Attributes

yum-mirror::default

Key	Type	Description	Default
['yum-mirror']['repopath']	String	where to store the downloaded mirror data	'/var/local/mirror'
['yum-mirror']['mirrors']	Array	which mirrors to use from data bags

Usage

yum-mirror::default

Include yum-mirror in your node's run_list:

{
  "name":"my_node",
  "run_list": [
    "recipe[yum-mirror]"
  ]
}

If you want to sync mirrors, you also need to create databags with at least one repository for each release version and put them in the array node['yum-mirror']['mirrors'] matching the id of the data bag.

Data Bags

yum-mirror::default

The default recipe doesn't need data bags to work, but won't do any mirror syncing. All mirrors are defined in data bags that have to look like the following:

{
  "id": "centos6",
  "mirrorlists": {
    "base": "http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=os",
    "extras": "http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=extras",
    "updates": "http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=updates",
    "centosplus": "http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=centosplus"
  },
  "gpg": "http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6"
}

This data bag will add the standard repos for CentOS 6 and the corresponding GPG key. Currently the cookbook only supports mirrorlists and not single base urls.
