Setting up Centos / RedHat 8 extra repositories

One of the first tasks that system admins should do when they install a new Linux machine is to make sure they have a reliable repository to get the software they need.

Here, following some sources that I consider essential to obtain RPM packages.

1 – Install both those extra repositories epel and remi:

# yum -y install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
# yum -y install https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-8.rpm

2 – Install the package responsible for handling the yum configuration and enabling the repositories:

# yum -y install yum-utils
# yum config-manager --set-enabled powertools
# yum config-manager --set-enabled remi
# yum config-manager --set-enabled epel

3 – Now, you can update your Linux:

# yum update
