No, this is not a duplicate of disable YUM mirrorlist checking That question was solved by preventing update of all metadata. This is not what I want to do.

I am trying to build images behind a corporate firewall which restricts outside access. I have internal mirrors, to which I point the installer during kickstart. That part works. Image reboots. I have disabled all repos (even tried deleting the existing .repo files), and laid down a custom repo file pointing to our internal mirrors. I've put "enabled = 0" in the fastestmirror.conf file (verified it works, yum doesn't say it's loading the plugin any more), BUT I'm still getting this error, and yum bails out:

Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=7&arch=x86_64&repo=os&infra=stock error was 14: curl#7 - "Failed to connect to 2604:1580:fe02:2::10: Network is unreachable"

Well, yes, I know it is...that's why I disabled fastest mirror. I don't use the mirror list any more, because I've disabled all default repos.

I don't want to disable caching of metadata (nor do I want to extend its life, as was done in the above solution): I want metadata from our repos to be retrieved, but I don't want it to try to access the mirror list; there is no need.

Why is it still trying to access the mirror list? How can I disable that?

I think this article will solve your issue here is the most relevant part first:

This should be where the mirror is:

baseurl=file:/share/CentOS/$releasever/os/$basearch/

If you want it not to look at all:

• Comment out the repo's


• Remove the baseurl's


• Move the whole file to a .bak version and delete the original.

Set up /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo like:

[base]

name=CentOS-$releasever - Base

baseurl=file:/share/CentOS/$releasever/os/$basearch/

gpgcheck=1

gpgkey=file:/etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6

protect=1

priority=1

enabled=1

[updates]

name=CentOS-$releasever - Updates

baseurl=file:/share/CentOS/$releasever/updates/$basearch/

gpgcheck=1

gpgkey=file:/etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6

protect=1

priority=1

enabled=1

[extras]

name=CentOS-$releasever - Extras

baseurl=file:/share/CentOS/$releasever/extras/$basearch/

gpgcheck=1

gpgkey=file:/etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6

protect=1

priority=1

enabled=1

[centosplus]

name=CentOS-$releasever - Plus

baseurl=file:/share/CentOS/$releasever/centosplus/$basearch/

exclude=kernel*

gpgcheck=1

enabled=1

gpgkey=file:/etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6

protect=0

priority=1

[contrib]

name=CentOS-$releasever - Contrib

baseurl=file:/share/CentOS/$releasever/contrib/$basearch/

gpgcheck=1

enabled=0

gpgkey=file:/etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6

protect=0

priority=3
