Download content of repositories to local volume and point the repo definitions (in `/etc/yum.repos.d/`) to those local “mirrors”. ---

Lets say that you have on your machine a copy in path `/mirrors/rockylinux.org/9/BaseOS/x86_64/os/` directories `Packages` and `repodata` and repo definition: ```auto # cat /etc/yum.repos.d/mybase.repo [my-baseos] baseurl = file:///mirrors/rockylinux.org/$releasever/BaseOS/$basearch/os/ cost = 990 enabled = 1 gpgcheck = 1 gpgkey = file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-Rocky-9 name = My - Rocky $releasever - BaseOS ``` Then `dnf` should find the packages. How you download and copy files from public mirrors (regularly) to your strict environment is up to you. ---

Heh… you were slightly faster then I was 😃 Guess I don’t need to post anymore… except that gpgkey should probably be: /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-Rocky-9 😉 ---

Hi all, Thank you both once again! Meanwhile, I have found a link for installing Rocky 9, it works like a charm and I would like to share it with anybody.
