Thank you for the video. Where can we get/download these AppStream and BaseOS folders ?

[@johnpittmangibson2885]

My mnt directory is empty. I am running a VM. RHEL 8.8.

You have to mount the DVD media to /mnt to get repository working

[@johnpittmangibson2885]

@@TechArkit Okay but I’m using VM and my laptop 💻 don’t have slot for dvd media.

[@kennethregalado2058]

One question, can we just baseurl from the mounted folder? just to avoid copying the AppStream and BaseOS.

[@TechArkit]

Yes, you can do that, thing is RPMs and .XML files should be available for the read then you can point any path to create repo.

​@@catchmeifyoucan_2024 You can take advantage of the "priority plugin" where you can set priorities to the repos and the lower the priority value the higher the priority of that repo. You can set the "offline" repo as higher priority, online repo as lower priority and if the offline repo can't satisfy the yum need it fail and it will try the next priority repo. I hope this helps.
