Membuat Repository Local Linux

1.       Install repo & vsftp (very secure file transfer protocol)

       # yum install createrepo -y

       # yum install vsftp -y

2. Isi repositories
    a.    Untuk mengisi repositories ini, ada 2 cara,yaitu:                
           Download dari repo web / www.kambing.ui.ac.id / www.centos.org  
           Wget http://kambing.ui.ac.id/centos/6.5/os/i386/
           Wget http: //ftp.belnet.be/packages/dries.ulyssis.org/redhat/el4/en/i386/dries/RPMS

    b.   Copy dari DVD libraries
            1. Mount –o loop file.iso /mnt/iso;cp –r
              /mnt/iso/* /path/to/ftp/directory/
            2. Bila langsung dari disk tidak perlu di mount
              cukup copy semua file yang ada di disk tersebut (disk1 dan disk2)

1.       3.    Setelah mengisi repositories, maka tinggal di validate dengan cara

        # createrepo /path/to/ftp/directory/

        Contoh

                        [root@bkp iso]# createrepo /var/ftp/pub/centos/6.4/updates/i386/

Spawning worker 0 with 4802 pkgs

Sqlite DBs complete

                       [root@bkp iso]#

1.    4.    Cek di ftp dengan browser , ftp://ipserver/pub/centos/6.4/updates/i386/

        Contoh : ftp://192.168.0.5/pub/centos/6.4/updates/i386/

       5.    Buat file *.repo di client

# cd /etc/yum.repo

#  rename akhiran semua file di folder tersebut

# buat file costum.repo dan masukan link seperti contoh berikut ini

#==Untuk Centos 6.x==#

[customrepo]

name=Custom Repository

baseurl=ftp://192.168.0.5/pub/centos/6.4/updates/i386/

enabled=1

gpgcheck=0

                        #note : basurl di arahkan ke path ftp server yang mengandung repositories

                        #==Untuk Centos 5.6==##

baseurl=ftp://192.168.0.5/pub/centos/5.6/updates/i386/

enabled=1

gpgcheck=0

                        #note : basurl di arahkan ke path ftp server yang mengandung repositories

·                             Hubungi admin untuk keterangan repositories nya

  6.   Test update repo

# yum update

Jika berhasil maka,tidak akan ada pesan error yang tampil

Contoh berhasil :

================================================

Upgrade     496 Package(s)

Total download size: 539 M

            Is this ok [y/N]:
