Make sure that this content is already in Satellite, and enable it if necessary.

Select Both to see if it is already enabled, like this:. If the repository is not shown in the right side list of enabled repositories, drill down to the list of available repositories and select it there. Once the EPEL repository is added, we can then synchronize both repositories. When a software package is added to the repository, that package gets signed by a GPG private key.

This feature allows for integrity checks before installing the packages by comparing them against the public GPG key. If a package was modified or corrupted, it will fail the integrity check and should not be installed. The key is located here. A dialog screen will open similar to this:. Next, either paste the text of the GPG public key or upload the key file and then save the credential.

Next, create a custom product and subscription. Similar to Red Hat product subscriptions, each custom product added to Satellite will have its own subscription. This action will open a dialog page similar to the example shown here:.

Provide a name for the new product, and the Label field will automatically populate to be compatible with naming rules. Use the drop-down to select the GPG Key you just added in the previous step, then select the appropriate sync plan. Typically, this selection should be the same plan you used for your other OS products.

This policy will keep the EPEL repository synchronized at the same time as the others. Now that the product is defined, we need to create the repository. Then select the option for New Repository to open the dialog in the below example:.

The label will automatically populate the same way it did when the product was created. Add an optional description for the repository and then select yum from the Type drop-down. After selecting yum , additional dialogs will open for completing the repository setup. When using a mirror, replace the host dl. The rest of the URL should remain intact. The full list of mirrors is published here.

The remaining options should be left with their default selections in most cases. Review the description for each to understand what each option offers and then Save this repository configuration when finished. This is a good time to synchronize the repository. Include the CodeReady Linux Builder if that was also added.

Finally, click the Synchronize Now button to start that process:.
