Alpine Linux Mirror Iran — apk mirror

apk

Primary endpoint

Use https://mirror.kargadan.ir/repository/alpine-proxy/ as the canonical baseurl in your client configuration.

1 archive

Primary archive only

A single proxy serves the entire distribution — no companion archives needed.

HTTPS · recommended

https://mirror.kargadan.ir/repository/alpine-proxy/

HTTP · legacy clients only

http://mirror.kargadan.ir/repository/alpine-proxy/

Default suite / branch	`v3.20`
Authentication	Not required (anonymous read)

Notes & limitations

Alpine's apk format is not natively recognised by Nexus, but the apk client only needs flat HTTP access to APKINDEX.tar.gz + .apk files, which the raw proxy provides without any index regeneration.
