Solved: Anyone have experience with RH Spacewalk

Software & Operating Systems Linux
1

I have a CentOS7 server running Spacewalk 2.6

This server manages multiple other centOS servers on a closed loop network. These are not allowed to touch the internet.

To add packages to the Spacewalk server, I must download to a USB HDD and move them over manually.

My question is, how do I create a repo under a channel that points to local storage (since I don't have a Repository URL) and is there a default location on the file system that packages should be placed / stored?

EDIT: Aparently for the URL I can use this for local packages

file:///etc/var/packages

Good to know cause i might be doing something like this :smile:

Are you using a online system to sync then taking the diffs to your closed network?

Just using rsync to my nearest repo and then burning to a dvd or usb hdd
