How To Create Yum Server
What Is Yum Server ?
The Yellowdog Updater, Modified (yum) is an open-source command-line package-management utility for Linux operating systems using the RPM Package Manager. Though yum has a command-line interface, several other tools provide graphical user interfaces to yum functionality. Yum allows automatic updates, package and dependency management, on RPM-based distributions. Like the Advanced Packaging Tool (APT) from Debian, yum works with software repositories (collections of packages), which can be accessed locally or over a network connection.
Advantages of Yum Server-
- Automatic resolution of software dependencies. If a package installation or upgrade request is made and requires the installation or upgrade of additional packages, YUM can list these dependencies and prompt the user to install or upgrade them.
- Command-line and graphical versions. The command-line version can be run on a system with a minimal number of software packages. The graphical versions offer ease-of-use and a user-friendly graphical interface to software management.
- Multiple software locations at one time. YUM can be configured to look for software packages in more than one location at a time.
Configure the Yum Server-Server Side:
1. insert DVD in to DVD-ROM
2. mount the DVD-ROM
#mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/
3.go to /mnt/Packages/
#cd /mnt/Packages/
#ll {List all the package}
4.now install the yum server rpm
#rpm -ivh vsftpd-2.2.2-11.el6.i686.rpm
#rpm -ivh createrepo-0.44...........noarch.rpm
5.Create a folder under the Directory
#mkdir /var/ftp/pub/yum {Note-yum is a Directory name}
6. Change The Directory Permission
#chmod -R 777 /var/ftp/pub/yum
7.Copy all /mnt Data in this location /var/ftp/pub/yum
#cp -rvf . /mnt/* /var/ftp/pub/yum/
8.Go to Repository file
#cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
#ll
9.now create repository file
#vi server.repo
Then Entry-
[server]
name=Rhel6
baseurl=file:///var/ftp/pub/yum/
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1
Now Save And Exit.
10.Createrepo -(is a program that creates a repomd (xml-based rpm metadata)repository from a set of rpms.)
12.Clean all cache memory
#yum clean all
13.restart vdftpd services
#/etc/init.d/vsftpd restart
#chkconfig vsftpd on {updates and queries runlevel information for system services}
14.Check yum server
#yum list
to install rpm using yum server
#yum install bind* -y
to search rpm using yum server
#yum list | grep rpm_name
to remove rpm using yum server
#yum remove rpm_name
Client Side:
1.Create Repository File
#vi /etc/yum.repos.d/1.repo
Then Entry-
[server]
name=Rhel6
baseurl=ftp://ip address of server/pub/yum {Server IP and Define Proper path}
gpgcheck=0
enabled=1
Now Save And Exit.
2.Check yum server
#yum repolist - See more at: http://www.linuxforfreshers.com/p/how-to-create-yum-server-what-is-yum.html#sthash.jhc7JS2f.dpuf
