libdnf5-local - Man Page

Local Plugin

Description

After each libdnf5 transaction copy all downloaded packages to a _dnf_local repository on the local filesystem and generate repository metadata.

The repository is automatically added by the plugin with the following options:

[_dnf_local]
name = Local libdnf5 plugin repo
baseurl = <repodir>
skip_if_unavailable = true
cost = 500
metadata_expire = 0

Note that the repository has pkg_gpgcheck verification enabled by default but doesn't specify any gpgkey, it assumes all required keys were already imported.

To generate the metedata createrepo_c is required.

Configuration

The plugin configuration is in /etc/dnf/libdnf5-plugins/local.conf. The minimal content of the conf file should contain main and createrepo sections.

The main section requires:

name

string

The plugin's name is local

enabled

Whether or where the plugin is enabled: true, false, host-only, installroot-only.

For host-only the plugin will run only on transactions in the default installroot /.
For installroot-only the plugin will run only on transactions in installroots different from /.

It can also contain:

repodir

string

Path where the local repository is located. By default it is in persistdir in plugins/local subdirectory.

The createrepo section requires:

enabled

boolean

Whether running createrepo to generate repodata is enabled: true or false.

Additionally it can contain:

cachedir

string

If you want to speed up createrepo with the --cachedir option. Not used by default.
