Are there any that are https?  We aren’t allowed to contact http-only sites 
either.

Thanks,
Harry

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.


Yes, if you go to the pages I sent you before - for example, the RPMFusion 
mirror list, and you filter for the one you're interested in (RPMFusion Free 
for EL -> 8 -> x86_64, for example), and scroll to the bottom, you'll see US 
mirrors. Just change the "baseurl" line to one of those - for example:

http://mirrors.ocf.berkeley.edu/rpmfusion/free/el/updates/8/x86_64/

(rpmfusion free -> el -> 8 -> x86_64). That particular one is based in 
Berkeley, CA.
