'What is the right way to upload CentOS packages to Nexus 3?

I uploaded CentOS-8.1 AppStream and BaseOS packages to Nexus-3 with curl.

When I try to install httpd using Nexus-3 yum repository, it gives me

"Package httpd-2.4.37 requires mod_httpd2 but none of providers can be installed."

First I thought I missed some packages to upload. But that was not the case.

Then I mount CentOS iso file and tried to install httpd using local repository, success!

Problem is repomd.xml files are different. Nexus creates it's own repomd.xml files after a package is uploaded which create conflicts.

In addition "yum group list" does not work with Nexus.

What is the right way to upload CentOS packages to Nexus repository?
