Installed CentOS8 on a VM from
CentOS-8.1.1911-x86_64-dvd1.iso
Trying to update it gives
Failed to download metadata for repo 'appstream' Error: Failed to download metadata for repo 'appstream'
I have the rpm's on a local repository but disabling the repos has no effect on the error and will no proceed with the update.
is there a fix?
CentOS 8 is EOL since end of last year. My fix was: replacing CentOS with Fedora Server, although my perspective may not be that unencumbered, given my signature. Unless you are using very special application software or a very special use case you will not face more issues as with CentOS, in some cases rather even less, because the software versions are more recent.
