解决：Failed to download metadata for repo ‘base‘

镜像下载、域名解析、时间同步请点击 阿里云开源镜像站

1.先查看本机的系统信息

[root@h0436 h0436 zlong]# cat /etc/redhat-release

2.进入yum.repos.d

[root@h0436 zlong]# cd /etc/yum.repos.d

3.查看镜像文件（看看你需要修改的哪个文件）

[root@h0436 yum.repos.d]# ls
CentOS-Base.repo         CentOS-Base.repo.bak  epel.repo
CentOS-Base.repo.backup  docker-ce.repo

4.修改文件（我的是CentOS-Base.repo.backup文件）

[root@h0436 yum.repos.d]# vim CentOS-Base.repo.backup 

5.如果你找不到在哪个文件夹，你就每个文件夹都vim 进去看看，找到CentOS-Base.repo就行

6.复制下面这一段配置就行，按键盘上“i”编辑，按ESC退出。如果要保存退出就按:wq，如果不保存退出就按:q （图中标红的地方都是改过之后的地方）
