OK, good news and bad news: I was able to update my Ansible Playbook to grab the RPM Fusion free & non-free RPM from a US mirror. The bad news is that once that gets installed, it creates a repo file under /etc/yum.repos.d that has the following for its mirrorlist:
mirrorlist=http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/mirrorlist?repo=free-el-updates-released-8&arch=$basearch The issue with this in our case is that the mirror goes out to Canada and Germany, which we block as per our government security requirements. Absolutely NO non-US repositories are allowed with NO exceptions. If we can’t contact a US repository to install the necessary packages, we will have to abandon Guacamole and look for other alternatives. Is there a mirrorlist or baseurl that does the package installation that we can guarantee is a US repository? I’m OK with having our own maintained repo file that we push out to a system for Guacamole installation, I just need to find a URL that’s US only.

We’ve had to tighten up our firewalls and we are not permitted to access non-US repositories. So we can no longer install new Guacamole instances because the install process is having us install EPEL and RPMFusion RPMs, and those seem to be going to Denmark and Canada.
