A custom yum repository can now be configured by defining `DIB_YUM_REPO_PACKAGE` as a yum available package or a URL to an rpm file. This package can install repo files with any associated keys and certificates. A good example of such a package upstream is rdo-release[1] which includes multiple repo files, the repo keys, and a root certificate. This makes these repos impractical to install via DIB_YUM_REPO_CONF. Downstream, repo packages like this a frequently used to bootstrap development builds of RHEL with development repos.

==== rhel ==== Use RHEL cloud images as the baseline for built disk images. Because RHEL base images are not publicly available, it is necessary to first download the RHEL cloud image from the Red Hat Customer Portal and pass the path to the resulting file to disk-image-create as the ``DIB_LOCAL_IMAGE`` environment variable. The cloud image can be found at (login required): RHEL8: https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/479/ver=/rhel---8/8.0/x86_64/product-software RHEL7: https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/69/ver=/rhel---7/7.1/x86_64/product-downloads Then before running the image build, define DIB_LOCAL_IMAGE (replace the file name with the one downloaded, if it differs from the example): .. code-block:: bash export DIB_LOCAL_IMAGE=rhel-8.0-x86_64-kvm.qcow2 The downloaded file will then be used as the basis for any subsequent image builds. For further details about building RHEL images, see the rhel-common and redhat-common element README files. Environment Variables --------------------- DIB_LOCAL_IMAGE :Required: Yes :Default: None :Description: The RHEL 8 base image you have downloaded. See the element description above for more details. :Example: ``DIB_LOCAL_IMAGE=/tmp/rhel8-cloud.qcow2``
