Updating your container using Yellowdog Updater, Modified (YUM)

Complete the following steps to use Yellowdog Updater, Modified (YUM) to update your container:

Verify the following:

There are no backup or restore jobs running.
There are no Administrator jobs running.

Connect to the container that requires updating:
```
podman exec -it container_id bash
```
Edit the YUM configuration file:
If you need a proxy server only, without a user, add the following line to the [main] section of the /etc/yum.conf.
```
PROXY=http://your.proxy.server:port
```
If the proxy requires a user name and password, add the following lines to the yum.conf file.
```
proxy_username=yum-user 
proxy_password=yum-user-password 
```

Save the repository.

cd /etc/yum.repos.d

mv hv.repo hv.repo.old

touch hv.repo

Perform software updates.
```
yum install bind-utils
```
Note: If the host name of the yum repository is resolved in IPv6, the container cannot connect to the repository and the yum command may fail. In that case, add the following line to the [main] section of the /etc/yum.conf file:
ip_resolve=4
Validate the domain.
```
nslookup
```
```
[root@hid yum.repos.d]# nslookup example.com
Server: 172.17.24.20
Address: 172.17.24.20#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: example.com
Address: 10.7.42.0
Name: example.com
Address: 10.7.7.33
```
Note: Each step from 2 to 5 can also be run for all containers at once. If you want to configure it all at once, skip step 1 and run commands from the host by referring to command examples below.
For step 2

--For setting the proxy:
for containerid in $(podman container list -q) ; do podman exec -it ${containerid} bash -c "sed -i -e \"/^\[main\]$/a proxy=https://your.proxy.server:port\" /etc/yum.conf" ; done
--For setting the proxy user:

for containerid in $(podman container list -q) ; do podman exec -it ${containerid} bash -c "sed -i -e \"/^\[main\]$/a proxy_username=yum-user\" /etc/yum.conf" ; done

--For setting the proxy password:

for containerid in $(podman container list -q) ; do podman exec -it ${containerid} bash -c "sed -i -e \"/^\[main\]$/a proxy_password=yum-user-password\" /etc/yum.conf" ; done

For step 3

for containerid in $(podman container list -q) ; do podman exec -it ${containerid} bash -c "mv /etc/yum.repos.d/hv.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/hv.repo.old" ; done

for containerid in $(podman container list -q) ; do podman exec -it ${containerid} bash -c "touch /etc/yum.repos.d/hv.repo" ; done

For step 4

To deploy the .repo file to all containers at once, deploy the same .repo file to the host as oracle-linux-ol7.repo, then navigate to that directory and run the following command from the host as an example.

for containerid in $(podman container list -q) ; do podman cp ./oracle-linux-ol7.repo ${containerid}:/etc/yum.repos.d/oracle-linux-ol7.repo ; done

For step 5

for containerid in $(podman container list -q) ; do podman exec -it ${containerid} bash -c "yum install bind-utils" ; done

If the host name of the yum repository is resolved in IPv6, the container cannot connect the repository and the yum command may fail. In that case, run the following commands.

for containerid in $(podman container list -q) ; do podman exec -it ${containerid} bash -c "sed -i -e \"/^\[main\]$/a ip_resolve=4\" /etc/yum.conf" ; done

Your container is updated.
