How do i setup or servers to update percona packages directly from percona?

Hi Percona Community,

I’m relatively new to percona and would like to ask for your help on how to setup our centos 7 db servers to update directly from upstream official percona repos. Thanks for any guidance in advance!

Cheers!

Hi Larry,

Here is our documentation that is related to using percona repositories.
We recommend using the percona-release tool.

Run the following command for Centos 7 as the root user or with sudo:

yum install -y https://repo.percona.com/yum/percona-release-latest.noarch.rpm

Thanks adivinho, in using the percona release tool, which will be the recommended repo to use if i wanted to disable all percona repos and enable only the repo that will connect directly to the upstream official percona repos? currently we have percona-noarch.repo and percona.repo.

will this be the correct repo and command?

percona-release enable-only ps-80 release

Yes, it’s a correct command. Also you may disable all percona repos and enable a required one.
