Connecting to the Lightbits Software Repository

Lightbits Cluster Installation Process

Verify that you have the TOKEN & baseurl for the Lightbits RPM repository. Log in to any of the future Lightbits servers and test the connection to the repository.

1. In your preferred text editor, create the following new repo file: /etc/yum.repos.d/lightos.repo
2. Copy the following template into the file.

For the <YOUR_TOKEN>, enter the Lightbits token that was included in your copy of the Lightbits Installation Customer Addendum.

Verify that the baseurl path is correct, with the Customer Addendum. Specifically, the parts after the <YOUR_TOKEN>.

3. Save the lightos.repo file.
4. Verify your system’s connectivity to the repository by entering the yum repolist command. This command displays the enabled software repositories. For example: $ yum repolist

Make sure that the command exits successfully. If it shows any error, address those before continuing.
