[AusNOG] preferencing Own Hosted Mirror Repo's

[Nathan Collins]

I've had the same issue, I solved it by using the yum fastest mirrors plugin to preference mirrors with a specific keyword in the URL.  This meant my own mirrors were always used without specifying any repo config.

Unfortunately for implementation it requires editing the config on each server.  Perhaps it's a good time to look at a configuration management tool such as Puppet.

Gday Guys

Got an interesting topic to some,

We operate and maintain a few mirror’s for different software such as CentOS, OpenVZ, EPEL ect

However when we run yum updates and such, our local mirror’s “even tho are already listed in the mirror lists” are not selected as the closest,

I was wondering if anybody has a genius way of resolving this?  The only way I know of, would be having to edit each repo file and changing the baseurl line, and disabling the mirrorlist line,

However having a few hundred servers, this would be very difficult and time consuming

I was wondering if anybody has an outcome for this if they have attempted this in the past

Feel free to PM me if you don’t quite understand or value more information



Regards

Daniel
