+===== local repo with modules =====
+RHEL 8
+    You should not use createrepo on a RHEL 8 repository or you will delete the module data. reposync was updated to download all of the repodata for you making a local repository, a single command.
+         # reposync --download-metadata --repo <repo-id>
+To use createrepo on a RHEL 8 repository, download the files:
+**comps.xml , updateinfo.xml , modules.yaml **
+<code>
+# rm -rf /var/cache/dnf
+# yum module list && yum updateinfo
+# reposync --repo <repo-id> --download-path=/var/www/html
+### With the repository downloaded, we now need to build the repodata. We should be sitting in the root of the repository.
+# cd /var/www/html/<repo-id>
+# cp $(find /var/cache/dnf/<repo-id>* -name *comps.xml) comps.xml
+# createrepo -g comps.xml ./
+### Find and add the module data  **NOTE** createrepo_c-0.16.2-2.el8 and later will automatically detect and include the modules.yaml, if present in the repo directory.
+#  gunzip $(find /var/cache/dnf/<repo-id>* -name *modules.yaml.gz) -c > modules.yaml
+# modifyrepo modules.yaml repodata/
+###Find and add the security data
+# gunzip $(find /var/cache/dnf/<repo-id>* -name *updateinfo.xml.gz) -c > updateinfo.xml
+# modifyrepo updateinfo.xml repodata/
