The system comes preconfigured with a repository. If this repository is too slow for you, you might want to switch to a different mirror.
To switch your system repositories to a different mirror, create the
directory /etc/apk/repositories.d
if it does not exist yet and then
a file with the name format 00-your-custom-name.list
. The 00-
prefix
is important, as is the .list
extension; inbetween can be anything
you want.
Put the following in the file:
set CHIMERA_REPO_URL=https://repo.chimera-linux.org
Replace the actual URL with the base URL of the mirror you want.
It is not recommended to directly specify repositories or mess with the
chimera-repo-
packages. You should leave these alone (only install the
ones for the repos you want, main
is always mandatory) and set the
URL via the custom file above.
The following mirrors are available:
- https://repo.chimera-linux.org (hosted by the project, Prague, Czech Republic)
- https://chimera.sakamoto.pl (hosted by sdomi, Warsaw, Poland)
- https://au.mirror.7bit.org/chimera (hosted by wezm, Australia)
- https://mirror.accum.se/mirror/chimera-linux.org (hosted by ACC, Umeå, Sweden)
- https://chimera.netig.net (hosted by netig, Stockholm, Sweden)
This information is also available in a pure text form here.
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.
