Re: [CentOS] Local repository via createrepo assumes apache?

It seems that I need to run apache on the repository server. But I can basically run with defaults?

You can use any web server supported by the operating system that hosts the files. As long as the web server software has read access to the files. Believe it or not, my local CentOS repository is hosted on Windows/IIS.

All the howtos I have found address [base] and [update] but not others like [add-on] should those be set up as well?

It's up to you. If you think you'll need the packages that are in the additional repositories, go for it. But I wouldn't bother. You can still configure clients to use your local mirror for base/update and public mirrors for anything else they might need.
