Installing xi on an airgapped network

Post by solarisfire »

Hi guys,

I need to install Nagios xi into an airgapped network.

Server is running RHEL8.2 (64bit)

I copied up the xi-latest.tar.gz over SCP and unzipped.

The fullinstall script fails with "This system has no repositories available through subscriptions".

The server does not have the capability to talk to any repository on the internet, so official subscriptions cannot be used.
We use our own internal versions of the repositories which are vetted and have the minimal amount of RPMs needed to get the job done.

We can obviously modify the install script to not check for subscription repositories, just wanted to check if there are any pitfalls doing this?

And do Nagios maintain a list of RPMs we would need available in our own maintained repositories to get the job done?
