The community-driven RHEL fork RockyLinux uses the DNF package manager, and the repositories are essential for updating and installing software. This knowledge base lists the official and third-party RockyLinux repository URLs list needed to work efficiently.
Configuring Repositories
- To configure these repositories, edit or create
.repofiles under/etc/yum.repos.d/. - Ensure the GPG keys are added to your system to maintain package integrity.
- Enable or disable repositories as needed using the
dnf config-manager --enable/--disable <reponame>command.
1. BaseOS Repository
Essential system packages that form the base of RockyLinux is found in BaseOS repository.

gpgcheck=1 enabled=1 countme=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-rockyofficial 2. AppStream Repository
AppStream repository provides application streams and various additional packages.

BaseOS or AppStream does not provide supplementary packages. For that, use the Extras Repository in RockyLinux.

Developer tools and libraries are typically not installed by default. To use it, use the PowerTools Repository in RockyLinux.

For the RockyLinux repository URLs list not covered here, like Rocky-NFV, Rocky-RT, Rocky-Plus, Rocky-Media, and Rocky-Sources, you would generally enable them based on specific needs as they contain more niche or less frequently used packages.
Tips for Managing Repositories
- Always ensure the GPG keys are imported correctly to avoid security warnings.
- Use the
dnf config-managertool to enable or disable repositories as needed. - Regularly check for updates to keep your system secure.
This list includes official RockyLinux repositories and some useful third-party repositories for added functionality. Similarly, you can also easily configure the Repo URL list for AlmaLinux, CentOS, CentOS Stream, and Ubuntu. To find the working URLs, visit this link:
