Yum Proxies for RHEL 8

Sonatype Nexus Repository
1

Hi,

I’ve been trying to cretae a yum proxy for RHEL 8 machines in AWS. I have followed the guide linked below to the letter but having no joy.

https://help.sonatype.com/repomanager3/formats/yum-repositories/proxying-rhel-yum-repositories#ProxyingRHELYumRepositories-ProxyingYumRepositoriesonRHEL

When running yum update I get errors such as:

[root@ip-10-202-33-69 ~]# yum update
Nexus Repository Baseos 20 kB/s | 2.1 kB 00:00
Errors during downloading metadata for repository ‘nexus_baseos’:

  • Status code: 502 for h t t p s :// my nexus domain repository/rhel-proxy/8/x86_64/os/repodata/repomd.xml (IP: x.x.x.x)
    Error: Failed to download metadata for repo ‘nexus_baseos’: Cannot download repomd.xml: Cannot download repodata/repomd.xml: All mirrors were tried
    [root@ip-10-202-33-69 ~]#

My yum repo looks like this:

[nexus_baseos]
name = Nexus Repository Baseos
enabled=1
gpgcheck = 1
baseurl = h t t p s :// my nexus domain /repository/rhel-proxy/$releasever/$basearch/os
ui_repoid_vars = releasever basearch
gpgkey = file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release
priority=1

[nexus_appstream]
name = Nexus RHEL x86_64 AppStream Proxy (RPMs)
enabled=1
gpgcheck = 1
baseurl = h t t p s :// my nexus domain /repository/rhel-proxy/$releasever/$basearch/appstream
ui_repoid_vars = releasever basearch
gpgkey = file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-redhat-release
priority=1

You should look at the Nexus log.
