Do you mean that keepcache=1 will keep all versions of all packages, even from 
3rd party repos and manually installed rpms, in cache '/var/cache/dnf' forever 
as long as storage permits it?

That sounds exactly like python-dnf-plugins-extras-local. What is the 
difference between keepcache=1 and the local plugin.

Can the cache location be saved in any other location like home folder which 
as a lot more space than / folder which in my case is only 20 GiB?

I am not very clear on what you are trying to say. dnf-plugins-extras-local 
will create a local repo, at a location of your choice, and keep all packages 
including all versions ever installed/updated on your system.
