Setup storage nodes
Setup RHEL6 storage node
Set hostname (example: el6repo)
vi /etc/sysconfig/network
Start apache and set to start on boot
service httpd start
chkconfig httpd on
Create base directory structure
mkdir -p /var/www/html/repo/Package_Diff
Create repo config files (see Setup Note for link to contents)
touch /var/www/html/repo/CentOS-Base.repo
touch /var/www/html/repo/Epel.repo
touch /var/www/html/repo/Redhat.repo
chmod 644 /var/www/html/repo/*.repo
Setup Note: Remember to copy the content from the appropriate files.
Path: /var/www/html/repo/CentOS-Base.repo CentOS-Base.repo
Path: /var/www/html/repo/Epel.repo Epel.repo
Path: /var/www/html/repo/Redhat.repo Redhat.repo
Create scripts directory for sync shell scripts
mkdir /root/scripts
Create repo sync files (see Setup Note for link to contents)
touch /root/scripts/sync_centos_repos.sh
touch /root/scripts/sync_epel_repos.sh
touch /root/scripts/sync_rhel_repos.sh
chmod -R 700 /root/scripts
Setup Note: Remember to copy the content from the appropriate files.
Path: /root/scripts/sync_centos_repos.sh sync_centos_repos.sh
Path: /root/scripts/sync_epel_repos.sh sync_epel_repos.sh
Path: /root/scripts/sync_rhel_repos.sh sync_rhel_repos.sh
Add cron job entries to schedule the repo sync operations
vi /etc/crontab
Insert these entries (scripts will run at 04:15, 04:30, and 04:45 on the 12th day of the month)
15 4 12 * * root /root/scripts/sync_centos_repos.sh
30 4 12 * * root /root/scripts/sync_epel_repos.sh
45 4 12 * * root /root/scripts/sync_rhel_repos.sh
Setup Note: Use any time that makes sense in your environment. The times used are in no way meaningful other than making sure all of the scripts do not start at the same time as they could consume a lot of bandwidth; choking your internet connection.
Setup firewall rules to allow http connections from any host
iptables -I INPUT 5 -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
Save the firewall configuration
service iptables save
Restart the firewall
service iptables restart
Sync the remote repositories
Perform an initial sync with the remote repository
cd /root/scripts
./sync_centos_repos.sh
./sync_epel_repos.sh
./sync_rhel_repos.sh
