I will also show you how to find and install software packages on client RHEL 8 machines using the Nginx HTTP server and the Apache web servers. In this article, I will explain how to set up a local web-based YUM/DNF repository on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 8, using the installation DVD or ISO file. With YUM or DNF, you can install and update groups of computers without having to manually update each RPM. Yellowdog Updater, Modified (YUM) or Dandified YUM (DNF) are software package managers that manage RPM-based Linux distributions. Since the packages are downloaded via a local network, the updates perform quickly. Another benefit is, of course, the download speed. The advantage of creating a local repository is that you don’t require an internet connection to install software packages or updates. How well do you know Linux?
