Better documentation for simple mirroring/caching of upstream repos

[abctaylor]

Hi, this might be specific to pulp overall, than just the operator.

Could it be documented better (I need help here myself too) how to simply mirror/front some upstream repo? for example, take the Almalinux baseos repo. It has a baseurl (http://almalinux.mirror.katapult.io/8.9/BaseOS/x86_64/os/) and mirrors (https://mirrors.almalinux.org/mirrorlist/8/baseos).

What precisely must be done to provide this on prem via Pulp?

I would recommend filing issues in the pulpcore or pulp_rpm. This issue tracker is specifically for pulp-operator.

Here is a link to the new documentation site that we are working on:

https://staging-docs.pulpproject.org/pulp_rpm/docs/user/tutorials/01-create_sync_publish/

I am going to transfer this issue to pulpcore.

Note: belongs to RPM since the "interesting" flags/howto are pulp_rpm-specific.

It looks like most of the relevant information is already in our docs page, so I suppose the action item here is to simplify and make it flow better so that this information is more obvious.

@abctaylor @dkliban On that page, do you feel anything in particular is missing or unclear? We definitely want to make sure they're as complete and clear as possible.
