lanefu 363 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 (edited) We've added some enhancements to our mirror redirect tool the allow you to choose a region. UPDATE: See Friendlier Documentation Here The following regions are configured: NA - North America EU - Europe AS - Asia (currently only china) to use update the url in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/armbian.list from apt.armbian.com to apt.armbian.com/region/REGIONCODE ex: # cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/armbian.list deb http://apt.armbian.com/region/NA focal main focal-utils focal-desktop If you'd like to choose a specifc mirror you can query https://apt.armbian.com/mirrors and find a mirror Edited January 5 by lanefu link to better documentation 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanefu 363 Posted March 12 Author Share Posted March 12 Some more mirror updates: By default, geoip support will redirect you to the best regional mirror pool. (it's not perfect) Armbian-config now supports mirror selection: depending on version of Armbian config you may need to first do apt update && apt install jq -y to install missing dependency Armbian-config -> personal -> mirrors FOSSHOST mirror changes: location specific Fosshost mirror domains are deprecated: us.mirrors.fossho.st us.mirorrs.fosshost.org uk.mirrors.fossho.st uk.mirrors.fosshost.org FOSSHOST is now front-ending mirrors via the Fastly CDN see announcement from FOSSHOST.org mirrors.fosthost.org and mirrors.fossho.st are all that is needed to use their Fastly CDN Because Fastly is an on-demand caching CDN, performance will vary by your physical location. Some may experience a positive improvement, or some may experience a negative improvement. The FOSSHOST apt mirrors are most effective for those in Regions with poor internet connectivity and outside of greater Europe Currently our automatic redirect has FOSSHOST in the round-robin pool for North America and Asia. Those in China may want to use a China Specific mirror. Those in Asia outside of China will likely benefit for choosing the Fastly mirror I recommend using the existing Armbian EU mirrors for those within Greater EU with good internet connectivity. Since these Mirrors are caching, they work best when under high utilization. Ex: Great for apt indexes and common packages, extremely popular image downloads during release. Less ideal for unpopular images which won't be cached. We're very grateful for all our partners providing mirrors--and their extreme generosity in providing a vast amount of space. We're always trying to optimize our package and image distribution. Armbian's a unique project as our release output produces over 400 system images. Seeding and distribution is significant. If you have any questions or thoughts.. please share on this thread! lanefu 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
