# Accessing EuroLinux 6.10 Vaulted Repositories | ||
|
||
## EuroLinux 6 ELS EOL 2024-06-30 | ||
|
||
EuroLinux 6 reached its end of life on 2020-11-30; EuroLinux 6 ELS | ||
reached EOL on 2024-06-30 and is no longer supported. This means critical | ||
security updated are no longer provided, making your system highly vulnerable | ||
to security threats. | ||
|
||
|
||
Upgrading might not always be possible due to reasons like replicating a | ||
specific production environment in development, supporting legacy systems, or | ||
strict software compatibility requirements. In such cases, while accessing the | ||
vaulted repositories is an option, be aware of the inherent security risks. | ||
|
||
|
||
## EuroLinux 6 vault | ||
|
||
Using the following gist is a straightforward way to access the EuroLinux 6 | ||
vault: | ||
|
||
<script src="https://gist.github.com/AlexBaranowski/cdff6f0c45a50f16ff485813518e44b6.js"></script> | ||
|
||
Or manually add the following to `/etc/yum.repos.d/eurolinux-6-vault-repos.repo`: | ||
|
||
```ini | ||
[eurolinux6-base] | ||
name=Eurolinux 6 Base Vault | ||
baseurl=https://vault.cdn.euro-linux.com/legacy/eurolinux/6/6.10/BaseOS/x86_64/os/ | ||
gpgcheck=1 | ||
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-eurolinux | ||
|
||
[eurolinux6-extras] | ||
name=Eurolinux 6 Updates Vault | ||
baseurl=https://vault.cdn.euro-linux.com/legacy/eurolinux/6/6.10/Extras/x86_64/os/ | ||
gpgcheck=1 | ||
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-eurolinux | ||
``` | ||
|
||
If the GPG key is not present on your system, you can add it with the following | ||
command: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
curl -o /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-eurolinux https://fbi.cdn.euro-linux.com/security/RPM-GPG-KEY-eurolinux | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Removing subscription packages | ||
|
||
Previously, due to EuroLinux 6 repositories being paywalled, a subscription was | ||
required. This involved tools like `rhn_register` or `el_register` alongside | ||
the EuroMan service or a local mirror. With EuroMan's sunsetting alongside | ||
EuroLinux 6 ELS EOL, these subscription-related packages are no longer | ||
necessary (unless using custom Spacewalk/EuroMan Forman/EuroMan). You can | ||
safely remove them using the following command: | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
sudo yum remove -y rhn* subscription* | ||
``` |
