Available Oracle Linux Yum Servers

Two Oracle Linux yum sources for package distribution are available:

Public Yum Server

The primary Oracle Linux yum server is publicly available at https://yum.oracle.com/ where you can obtain software packages for free.

Other repositories that contain software, such as Ksplice, that are only licensed for use by Oracle Linux Support customers aren't available in the Oracle Linux yum server. For more information, see Available Yum Repositories.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Yum Servers

Unlike the publicly available yum server, the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) yum servers provide the complete range of software packages available on Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN), including Ksplice patch updates and other restricted software.

In addition, the ol10_oci_included, ol9_oci_included and ol8_oci_included yum repositories are also provided. The packages in these repositories must only be used on compute instances in OCI. The repositories are mirrored to all regional yum servers within OCI, but aren't mirrored to the publicly accessible Oracle Linux yum server.

To enable access to restricted content through the regional yum servers, ensure that you have installed the appropriate release-el8, release-el9, or release-el10 packages and have enabled the repositories to which you require access.
