#### Questions

1. How can I build Kibana RPM (only RPM, nothing else is required) using **only** local tools (build dependencies) that are preinstalled?
  - I want to use `--skip-node-download` or `--prefer-offline` (assume that you have all the necessary build tools preinstalled locally, so there is no need to have an internet connection to download further tools)
  - [Issue in building Kibana rpm 7.0.1 from src](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/issue-in-building-kibana-rpm-7-0-1-from-src/224606)

2. Is it possible to build this particular RPM from step 1.) without any direct in-code intervention(s)?
  - an elastic discussion noted that there is a need to disable the SHA SUM verification (`getNodeShasums`)

#### Environment

- Kibana: [7.6.2](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/releases/tag/v7.6.2)
- Docker Image: [oraclelinux:8](https://hub.docker.com/_/oraclelinux)
- Yum Repository: [yum.oracle.com](http://yum.oracle.com/)
- NodeJS: 10.19.0
- NPM: 6.13.4
- Yarn: 1.22.10

#### Dockerfile (works, but not as expected)

```auto

WORKDIR /tmp

This is something we really tried before and configured for. With the change to Bazel i think it could be doable once you have the cache in place after bootstrapping once.
