configure yum repos

To set up the local YUM repository on the Nautilus Backup Server, follow these steps:

Step 1: Create the Repository File

Create a new YUM repository configuration file:

sudo nano /etc/yum.repos.d/local_yum.repo

Add the following content:

[local_yum]
name=Local YUM Repository
baseurl=file:///packages/downloaded_rpms/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

Save and exit.

Step 2: Clean and Update YUM

Refresh YUM to recognize the new repository:

sudo yum clean all
sudo yum makecache

Step 3: Verify Repository

Check if the new repository is listed:

yum repolist

Ensure local_yum appears in the output.

Step 4: Install vim-enhanced from Local Repository

Run the following command:

sudo yum install -y vim-enhanced --disablerepo="*" --enablerepo="local_yum"

This ensures the package is installed only from the local repository.

Step 5: Verify Installation

Confirm vim-enhanced is installed:

vim --version

Now the local YUM repository is successfully configured on the Nautilus Backup Server! 🚀 Let me know if you need adjustments.
