Hi,
Sorry if this the wrong mailing list for this. Or should I create an issue on github?
I'm trying to setup my own MirrorManager [1]. The README gives two simple methods, but none of them work for me. The Vagrant method only works when there is an IPA server (ipa.tinystage.test) around. The other method (native, virtualenv) has lots of issues. The setup description is close to useless.
Problems encountered so far: * no example or description for client_secrets.json * pip requirements needs itsdangerous==2.0.1 * flaskext is not ready for Python3 File "/home/keesb/src/mirrormanager2/.env/lib64/python3.10/site-packages/flaskext/xmlrpc.py", line 252 except Fault, fault: ^^^^^^^^^^^^ SyntaxError: multiple exception types must be parenthesized
So, the question is: how can I setup my own MirrorManager? Did anyone try this recently?

It may help to back up a bit and explain what the setup you are trying for. Mirror manager is meant to deal with dozens of geolocated mirrors on the internet and work out which ones are closest to the user and give a list of some subset to them. It is also meant to allow for self-management of each of the mirrors and then scanning of the sites to see if they are in sync.
If you aren't needing all of this, then mirrorlist may be overkill for what you need. Air gapped networks generally do not have a way to give geolocation to the site (as that would usually be a bad thing on an air-gapped network). They are also usually more centrally managed.
The two sites I know which are using mirrormanager are Fedora and RPMfusion. I expect that it has been set up in situ for a long time so having it looked at by someone outside to figure out what isn't documented is good.

Good point. The main reason is that CentOS and Fedora both come with .repo files that use metalink= In my setup (disconnected from the Internet) I can't use that. As a workaround I manually figured out what baseurl= settings I need. This is doable but quite a hassle when creating containers all the time. It certainly is not possible with a sed / bash script. BTW. I do have a copy of a CentOS and Fedora mirror on my local network. So, I was hoping to setup a MirrorManager and just have my own internal mirror on it.

Thanks for the answer anyway.

Well I was going to say you might do better with mirrorlist= lines and using the CentOS mirrorlist software but that would also need changes. Normally I just do one of the following: 1. Copy out the repo files with one pointing to the one I want. 2. Have a replacement RPM which has the repo files i want which replaces fedora-release/centos-release/rocky-release/etc. 3. Have an additional RPM with working repo files and use a %post to sed/awk/etc the existing repos. I looked for other mirrorlink scripts but they all look like they need more work to make work than mirrormanager.
The main developer for mirrormanager is usually about a couple of days off from reading the list so they may have answers also.
