script to build your local YUM repository - CentOS 7

If you had installed your CentOS 7 as Minimal installation and incase if you need to install, update security fixes now and then in your local network, it would be better if it's been configured as a YUM server, saving you internet bandwidth.

readers who would like to create local repository would only need to mount the installation image to the drive and provide the path which they think there is enough free space on the drive to build the repository.

how it works shortly,

checks for the installation image in the drive, if found mount and then copy the contents from installation media to the path where you wanted to build the repository. create the repository file in /etc/yum.repos.d and build the repository. query your repository and then safely unmount the device.

this can be downloaded from the 'github' as well

# chmod +x localcentosrepo7.sh
#./ localcentosrepo7.sh

code:

#!/bin/bash
#
# Description:
# If there are no requirement for you to pull packages from Internet to installing the packages,
# you can use this script to build your local repository at your desired localtion.

# Summary:
# You are required to mount the installation CD/DVD/ISO image in your drive.
# this script is designed so that it would check image is mounted and would then mount to the '/media' mount point.
# It would copy all the contents from the media to your desired folder where you wanted to build your repository
# YUM pointed also added to the repository mentioned which comes pre-defined in the script.
# creates and builds your repository.
# checks are you able to query your repository
# Finally, unmounts the your media which is mounted
# you can remove your CD/DVD/ISo from the drive.

# this script is designed and tested on CentOS7
