Fix Centos 8 repo due to EOL could not retrieve mirrorlist


Recommended Posts

 

If you're getting this error and the repo is failing with Centos 8 with a similar message mentioned below then run the fix script to auto fix the appstream or other repo :

Errors during downloading metadata for repository 'appstream':
  - Curl error (6): Couldn't resolve host name for http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=8-stream&arch=x86_64&repo=AppStream&infra=stock [Could not resolve host: mirrorlist.centos.org]
Error: Failed to download metadata for repo 'appstream': Cannot prepare internal mirrorlist: Curl error (6): Couldn't resolve host name for http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=8-stream&arch=x86_64&repo=AppStream&infra=stock [Could not resolve host: mirrorlist.centos.org]
 

Due to EOL the mirrorlist.centos.org doesn't exist anymore and removed you need to change the repo to vault.centos.org

it would help if you ran the below script on your server 

sed -i 's/mirrorlist/#mirrorlist/g' /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-*
sed -i 's|#baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org|baseurl=http://vault.centos.org|g' /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-*
yum update -y
