Overview
MariaDB Corporation provides package repositories, including the MariaDB Enterprise Repository and the MariaDB Community Repository, that can be used to install MariaDB products using the operating system's package manager. Local mirrors of the package repositories can be used for local deployments.
Local package repository mirrors provide multiple benefits:
MariaDB Corporation's official package repositories are the source for the local mirror.
Tools provided by the operating system are used to create and maintain the local mirror.
After a local mirror is created, the mirror can be be used just like the MariaDB repositories to install MariaDB products using the operating system's package manager.
If you want to deploy MariaDB database products without using a local package repository mirror, alternative deployment methods are available. Available deployment methods are component-specific.
Use Cases
MariaDB database products can be deployed with local package repository mirrors to support use cases, such as:
Install from the mirror on an air-gapped network that is not connected to the internet
Remove packages from mirror for versions that are not used in the local environment
Add packages to mirror for tools and clients that are used in the local environment
Automatically install missing dependencies using a package manager

Create a Local Repository Mirror
Creating a local mirror of the MariaDB Enterprise Repository or the MariaDB Community Repository enables you to distribute MariaDB products to your servers from a local repository you support. Secure any such repository mirror to prevent outside access.
Set up a repository mirroring tool, for example:
For YUM:
reposync, available at: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/23016For APT:
debmirror, available at: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianRepository/Setup#Debian_Repository_ Mirroring_ Tools
Secure the repository mirror to prevent outside access.
