[1]

Install and start Apache httpd, refer to here.

[2] Install other required packages.
[root@dlp ~]#
dnf -y install yum-utils
[3] Create directories for repository and copy data from Rocky Linux official Repository.
[root@dlp ~]#
mkdir -p /var/www/repos/rockylinux/10/x86_64/os

[root@dlp ~]#
chmod -R 755 /var/www/repos
# copy from official repository

[root@dlp ~]#
reposync -p /var/www/repos/rockylinux/10/x86_64/os/ --repo=baseos --download-metadata
[root@dlp ~]#
reposync -p /var/www/repos/rockylinux/10/x86_64/os/ --repo=appstream --download-metadata
[root@dlp ~]#
reposync -p /var/www/repos/rockylinux/10/x86_64/os/ --repo=extras-common --download-metadata
[4] Add copy task to daily jobs.
[root@dlp ~]#
vi /etc/cron.daily/update-repo
# create new

#!/bin/bash

VER='10'
ARCH='x86_64'
REPOS=(baseos appstream extras-common)

for REPO in ${REPOS[@]}
do
    reposync -p /var/www/repos/rockylinux/${VER}/${ARCH}/os/ --repo=${REPO} --download-metadata --newest-only
done
[root@dlp ~]#
chmod 755 /etc/cron.daily/update-repo

[5] Configure Apache httpd to provide repository for other Client Hosts.
[root@dlp ~]#
vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/repos.conf
# create new

Alias /repos /var/www/repos
<directory /var/www/repos>
    Options +Indexes
    Require all granted
</directory>
[root@dlp ~]#
systemctl restart httpd

[6] If Firewalld is running, allow HTTP service.
[root@dlp ~]#
firewall-cmd --add-service=http

success
[root@dlp ~]#
firewall-cmd --runtime-to-permanent

success
[7] On Client Hosts, Change settings of DNF/Yum to refer to Local DNF/Yum Mirror Host.
[root@client ~]#
vi /etc/yum.repos.d/rocky.repo
# change to local mirror server
