RHEL 8 Creating Local Repositories

If you are using RHEL 8 as a learning system without the need of updated software you can create a local repository from the installation DVD. This becomes a simple option where the desire is purely to learn RHEL 8 and a support subscription is not important. With the DVD available to the system you can copy the contents to the hard drive to use as a repo.
If you have created the /rhel8 directory with the DVD contents you repo file could look like this:

/etc/yum.repos.d/dvd.repo

[rhel-dvd-BaseOS]
name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux Base
baseurl=file:///rhel8/BaseOS
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

[rhel-dvd-AppStream]
name=Red Hat Enterprise Linux AppStream
baseurl=file:///rhel8/AppStream
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
