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.

Thanks,
Harry

I would check out these pages:

http://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/mm/publiclist/
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mirrormanager/mirrors/EPEL

I think you can locate by country on those, so you should be able to force to a 
US-based mirror.

Are there any repositories for Guacamole that install ffmpeg-devel and tomcat 
that are United States 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.
