The system comes preconfigured with a repository. If this repository is too slow for you, you might want to switch to a different mirror.
Currently, there is no finalized way to cleanly switch to a different
mirror. This will change in the future when apk gains a way to
expand variables in the repositories file.
For the time being, you can modify the files in /etc/apk/repositories.d.
A recommended approach is to remove all the repo packages other than
chimera-repo-main (which is mandatory as it contains the signing keys)
and putting your desired repositories in /etc/apk/repositories.d/00-repo-main.list.
The repositories take the the form URL/current/CATEGORY where URL
is the mirror base URL, and category is one of main, main/debug,
user, user/debug.
The following mirrors are available:
- https://repo.chimera-linux.org (hosted by the project, Czechia)
- https://chimera.sakamoto.pl (hosted by sdomi, Poland)
- https://au.mirror.7bit.org/chimera (hosted by wezm, Australia)
- https://mirror.accum.se/mirror/chimera-linux.org (hosted by ACC, Sweden)
- https://chimera.netig.net (hosted by netig, Sweden)
Third party mirrors may follow their own schedule when it comes to syncing and are not guaranteed to always be up to date. It is recommended that all mirrors sync on at least hourly basis.
To set up a new mirror, rsync://repo.chimera-linux.org/chimera may be used.
If you set up a new mirror, please let us know.
