Mirror Configuration
A typical postmarketOS installation has one Alpine Linux mirror configured as well as one
postmarketOS mirror. As Alpine's CDN mirror is used by default, it should be suitable for most
users. The postmarketOS mirror can be configured interactively with pmbootstrap init, under
"additional options".
Find the currently selected mirrors in the output of pmbootstrap status, as well as in
/etc/apk/repositories for initialized chroots and finished installations.
Advanced
Some advanced use cases are supported by configuring the mirrors directly, either by editing
pmbootstrap_v3.cfg or running pmbootstrap config. Find the lists of mirrors at
mirrors.alpinelinux.org and
mirrors.postmarketos.org.
Change the Alpine Linux mirror
$ pmbootstrap config mirrors.alpine http://uk.alpinelinux.org/alpine/
Disable the postmarketOS mirror
This is useful to test bootstrapping from pure Alpine:
$ pmbootstrap config mirrors.pmaports none
$ pmbootstrap config mirrors.systemd none
Use _custom mirrors
For all repositories, it is possible to add _custom entries, for example
pmaports_custom in addition to pmaports. If these are set, then pmbootstrap
creates addition entries infront of the real mirrors in
/etc/apk/repositories. This is used by BPO
to build packages with a WIP repository enabled in addition to the final
repository, but could also be used if you have another custom repository that
you want to use in addition to the postmarketOS binary package repository.
$ pmbootstrap config mirrors.pmaports_custom http://custom-repository-here
