Fedora handles this use case beautifully with MirrorManager, which includes the EPEL repos as well. All of the logic is server side, when a yum/dnf client connects to the Metalink server to fetch a mirror list from our IP block it gets sent our internal mirror - I wish more distros had similar setups.
- pritambaral 8y agoSo, the public metalink server is aware of your internal mirror?
- snuxoll 8y agoYes, the mirror is configured as private and is only served to machines in my IP range - since it’s on the internal network it does nobody else good to have access.
- pritambaral 8y agoSo every private mirror has to be registered with a central upstream. That sounds unpalatable.
- snuxoll 8y agoIt doesn’t HAVE to be, I can manually edit my yum configs and specify the mirror - but using MM and Metalink means it automatically gets used.
