Wat het doet

A repository is just a folder with .rpm files and a repodata/ folder with the index. createrepo DIR (on RHEL the fast C version createrepo_c) reads all packages and writes the index. Then point a .repo file to the folder (baseurl=file:///DIR) or share it with a web server.

After you add or remove packages, run it again with --update (faster).

$ als gewone gebruiker# als root (of met sudo)

1Install the tool
```
#dnf install -y createrepo_c
```
Gives the createrepo and createrepo_c commands.
2Make a repository of a folder
```
#createrepo /srv/myrepo
```
Creates /srv/myrepo/repodata/.

3Use it on this machine

#cat /etc/yum.repos.d/myrepo.repo
[myrepo]
name=My packages
baseurl=file:///srv/myrepo
gpgcheck=0

Then dnf repolist shows it.

4Update after adding packages

#cp new-tool-2.0-1.el10.x86_64.rpm /srv/myrepo/; createrepo --update /srv/myrepo

Faster than a full run.

5Share the repository over HTTP
```
#dnf install -y httpd; ln -s /srv/myrepo /var/www/html/myrepo
```
Clients use baseurl=http://server1/myrepo (check SELinux labels: restorecon or semanage fcontext).

6Build an offline mirror of needed packages

$dnf download --resolve --destdir=/srv/myrepo ansible-core
#createrepo /srv/myrepo

For servers without internet.

7Add package groups
```
#createrepo -g comps.xml /srv/myrepo
```
Then dnf group list shows your groups.
8Leave out test packages
```
#createrepo -x '*-debuginfo-*' /srv/myrepo
```
Smaller index.
9Sign your packages (security)
```
$rpm --addsign /srv/myrepo/*.rpm
```
Needs a GPG key in ~/.rpmmacros; then clients can use gpgcheck=1.
10Clean the dnf cache after changes
```
#dnf clean metadata; dnf makecache
```
Clients see the new packages.
