Status : tested & working ✔️

Downloading & updating

1. Setup your EPEL version and releases in mirror.sh

2. Run the mirror container :

   docker-compose build
   docker-compose up mirror

Tips: We recommend you downloading the mirror from a cloud provider and then transfer the files to your computer.

Serving

1. Check your mirroring succeeded in ./mirror/* or typing du -sh ./mirror to check the volume

   The default configuration should make you download 49 G

2. Run the server :

   docker-compose up -d server

   Server will run on localhost:8080

Client configuration

On you server, retrieve and add the GPG key :

wget http://localhost:8080/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-7 # https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-7
rpm --import RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-7

To point your EPEL clients to your mirror, create a /etc/yum.repos.d/local-epel-mirror.repo file as follow :

[mymirror-epel]
name=My CentOS 7 EPEL local mirror
baseurl=http://localhost:8080/7/$basearch/
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-7
