From a question to a youtube channel amazing work

You're a legend man Thank you for this video!! This was the best video I have seen on updating offline systems. 1 thing - I didn't grab a beer, I grabbed wine after the reposync LOL

[@ronny71980]

Great voice, great tutorial. Thanks!

[@seanlennon5044]

Great vid, concise and easy to understand. I've just replicated this for rhel9 at work. More vids like this please.

Good video

Hello, This is an amazing Video and I was able to easily follow except for one thing. Can you please make a RHEL 8 version of this where you show how to connect to another RHEL server via HTTPD? I am having trouble finding another video that has the steps to make this a bit easier. You do almost all the right things here except in RHEL 8 there are two repo folders now, BaseOS and ApplicationStream. Then the part about setting up a second volume on an RHEL 8 VM and presenting it to an offline server would be so helpful. I am trying to struggle my way through this setup but thought I would see if you might have a video for RHEL 8 and making it an offline repo to connect over the network to offline prod machines.

[connected&subscribed host]
11:17 ntfs-3g (rhel doesnt support ntfs) -> requires EPEL
13.46 using [reposync -p /mnt/repo] : mirror all repos to usb
create
15:00 : createrepo [one-directory-above-repodata]
16:07: check /repodata is created.
**repomd.xml** is parsed by the yum/dnf package manager
[disconnected host]
- mount
17:50 disable `subscription-manager` plugin
18:30 create .repo @/etc/yum.repos.d , and fill in repo meta data (base url)
19:40 : yum dpdate to check [offline_repo] is functioning

its possible to create rhel9.4

So, just because I play the devil's advocate, for a non-internet connected VM, how did you get the epel repo transferred to it to install the NTFS-3g before using a NTFS drive again, the chicken before the egg thinking? I'm guessing initially you had to use an ext3 or something Linux filesystem based initially for a USB to transfer the EPEL repository and then installed NTFS-3G to pick up where the video shows the initial login to the offline RHEL 7 server.
