Void Linux maintains mirrors in several geographic regions for users. A fresh install will default to repo-default.voidlinux.org, which may map to any Tier 1 mirror, but you may have a better experience by selecting a different mirror.
The status of all listed mirrors can be viewed on Void's Grafana dashboard.
Tier 1 mirrors are maintained by the Void Linux Infrastructure Team. These mirrors sync directly from the build servers and will always have the latest packages available.
| Mirror | Region | Location |
|---|---|---|
| https://repo-fi.voidlinux.org/ | Europe | Helsinki, Finland |
| https://repo-de.voidlinux.org/ | Europe | Frankfurt, Germany |
| https://repo-fastly.voidlinux.org/ | Globally Available | Fastly Global CDN |
| https://mirrors.servercentral.com/voidlinux/ | North America | Chicago, USA |
Tier 2 mirrors sync from a nearby Tier 1 mirror when possible. These mirrors are not managed by Void and do not have any guarantees of freshness or completeness of packages, nor are they required to sync every available architecture or sub-repository.
Void Linux is also mirrored on the Tor network. See Using Tor Mirrors for more information.
See the Void Linux Handbook for instructions.
If you'd like to set up a mirror, and are confident you can keep it reasonably up-to-date,
follow one of the many guides available for mirroring with rsync(1).
You should be syncing from rsync://repo-sync.voidlinux.org/voidlinux/.
To list your mirror on this site, submit a pull request to
the xmirror repository
that adds your mirror to mirrors.yaml.
A full mirror requires around 1TB of storage. It is also possible to mirror only part of the repositories. Excluding debug packages is one way of decreasing the load on the Tier 1 mirrors, with low impact on users.
Please keep in mind that we pay bandwidth for all data sent out from the Tier 1 mirrors. You can respect this by only mirroring if your use case for your mirror will offset the network throughput consumed by your mirror syncing.
