Configure 5099 rpm packages using Yum Without Internet

-
Hey everyone 😀, Today I want to share an exciting configuration tool which is called YUM "not Yumraj" but RHEL's Yum. Yum is the default package management utility in RHEL/Centos Linux. For your knowledge aptitude (apt) is a  default package manager for Debian GNU/Linux systems.

Note:- Without Yum or apt you will face difficulty to manually install the packages in a Linux system.

Why we need Yum? 

Yum is used to searching, installing, updating and removing necessary rpm files from the system. RHEL/Centos Linux use .rpm file to manage the software.

A .rpm file extension represents the Linux software package file. Yum uses a repository to manage the rpm files. A repository is the collection of RPM files. Since Yum depends on the repository, there must be at least one working repository before it can be used. A repository can be configured either locally (on local hard) or remotely (on network or internet).

KeyPoints To Remember
  1. YUM stands for Yellow Dog Updater Manager.
  2. Yum is the default package management utility in RHEL/Centos.
  3. Yum uses a repository to get the necessary rpm files.
  4. A repository is a collection of rpm files.
  5. Repository may contain multiple versions of the same RPM package.
  6. Repository may contain different builds for different architectures for example one for i386 and other for x86_64.
  7. A repository can be configured locally or remotely.
  8. Yum can automatically resolve software dependencies and based on system hardware it can automatically select the appropriate version of RPM package from the repository.
So Yum sounds very helpful tool 😄  for Linux RHEL users but like every tool Yum require settings or configurations to do his job in a required manner and also add some custom settings/configurations to do work in our manner.

sorry I know, I talk too much 😑

Now we going to see how we can configure our yum locally and without the internet we can download almost every package (Basic stuff) to full fill our needs


So first we need soo many rpm packages to get them we  need our RHEL (Rhel 7) os image 



Second, select to Package folder and copy to desktop 


Third, select to repodata folder and copy to desktop 


Fourth, you can now eject your RHEL disc 



Fifth, put your repodata folder inside in Package folder



Sixth, now go to yum's config file cd  /etc/yum.repos.d


Note:- Here redhat.repo is a default yum configuration file 



Seventh, create your own yum's configuration file vim dvd.repo


Eighth, write down the following config in your file and then save it.


Ninth, enter a command yum repolist and then you see something like this


Wow, we just configure 5099 rpm packages so now we install these packages without internet.

Hey everyone 😊, Today I want to share another interesting thing which I found in StackOverflow and that is how to pass parameters in webhook. Those who don't know about webhook I advise you to google about it before going further reading.  So for demonstration purpose, I am going to use Jenkins and Generic Webhook plugin . I created a job and called it testing  and select Generic Webhook  Trigger . Thereafter I add Request Parameter   and in the request parameter I added the name of the request which is name Thereafter I added a token to specify that this job can only be triggered. After this, I select Execute Shell from Build  and write the following code  After doing this add webhook URL in bitbucket repository or  GitHub repository with the parameter. The URL is look something like this  Webhook URL:- https://[YOUR_JENKINS_URL]/generic-webhook-trigger/invoke?token=trigger&name=Svastikkka  The configuration will something like this After saving my webhook configuration I

Hi everyone 😎 , Today we are going to see how to access or modify WikiJS resources using WikiJS API. WikiJS exposes GraphQL API to access and modify the stuff according to our requirements. So In this blog post, we going to see  How to set up WikiJS's local environment using docker. How to generate an API token in Wikijs. Using API tokens how to access WikiJS resources and how to modify them. First Local Setup using docker Here I am using docker to set up my local isolated WikiJS environment. Below is my docker-compose.yml file written by WikiJS contributors. To build the WikiJS environment we just need to run the following command  docker-compose up -df  [PATH_OF_DOCKER_COMPOSE_YML_FILE] To check the environment is in a running state run the following command docker ps Second Generate API token After setup our local environment we are ready to create our initial Administrator account in our WikiJS. 1. On the browser type localhost:80 2. Create an Administrator account  Email: loc

Fahrenheit to Celsius

-
Level EASY Given three values - Start Fahrenheit Value (S), End Fahrenheit value (E) and Step Size (W), you need to convert all Fahrenheit values from Start to End at the gap of W, into their corresponding Celsius values and print the table. Input Format : 3 integers - S, E and W respectively Output Format : Fahrenheit to Celsius conversion table. One line for every Fahrenheit and corresponding Celsius value. On Fahrenheit value and its corresponding Celsius value should be separate by tab ("\t") Constraints : 0 <= S <= 80 S <= E <= 900 0 <= W <= 40 Sample Input 1: 0 100 20 Sample Output 1: 0 -17 20 -6 40 4 60 15 80 26 100 37 Sample Input 2: 20 119 13 Sample Output 2: 20 -6 33 0 46 7 59 15 72 22 85 29 98 36 111 43 Explanation For Input 2: We need need to start calculating the Celsius values for each of the Fahrenheit Value which starts from 20. So starting from 20 which is the given Fahrenheit start
