How Can I Create Local CloudLinux Repository Mirror?

This article only applies to CloudLinux OS (not ELS for CentOS/Oracle/Ubuntu) mirrors

CloudLinux mirror requires a bit more than a typical repository mirror setup. We set up CLN proxy software to accommodate for authentication done by the "yum-rhn-plugin" plugin.

Important: To qualify as a CLN mirror, you need to have more than 50 CloudLinux servers in your datacenters.

If you do, to host a mirror, please setup:

• VM with 4GB of RAM and 200GB of disk space running CentOS 7;
• "firewalld" service should be running with sshd enabled;
• domain name pointed to that mirror, like cl-mirror.yourdomain.com;

Please note: this should be a fresh server that is not used in production for other tasks.

Then create a support ticket and send us:

• your CLN login name;
• access to VM;
• domain name pointed to that VM.

We will setup a software that would act as a caching proxy allowing licensing to work. When done, your mirror will be added to http://repo.cloudlinux.com/cloudlinux/mirrorlists/cln-mirrors

ETA is about 2-3 business days.
