Arch Linux Mirror

Repository URL

Drop one of the URLs below into your client configuration. HTTPS is the right choice in almost every case.

Companion repositories

This distribution requires more than one archive — list each one below in your client configuration.

Pacman signature verification keeps working because Nexus passes the upstream .sig files through. Do not set SigLevel = Never.

Quick verification

Run this from any machine that can reach the mirror. It should complete in under a second once metadata is cached.

Copy# Quick smoke test
curl -fsSL https://mirror.kargadan.ir/repository/arch-group/core/os/x86_64/core.db \
  -o /dev/null -w 'HTTP %{http_code}  %{size_download}B\n'

Default client configuration

Drop this file at /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist on the target host for the recommended default release (core). See configuration by release for every supported suite.

Copy# /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist  (Arch Linux x86_64)
# Place this URL FIRST in the mirrorlist so pacman uses Nexus as the primary
# source. Real upstream mirrors should remain as fallbacks.

Server = https://mirror.kargadan.ir/repository/arch-group/$repo/os/$arch
# Fallback (uncomment to keep direct upstream as backup):
# Server = https://geo.mirror.pkgbuild.com/$repo/os/$arch

# Important: Nexus serves Arch as a RAW repository, so package signatures
# (.sig files) flow through unmodified — pacman's pacman-key signature
# verification keeps working. Do NOT set SigLevel = Never.

Configuration by release

Each block below is a complete, copy-ready configuration for one suite or release. Install path: /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist. The same patterns are committed under /opt/client-configs/arch/mirrorlist on the mirror host (default release only).

Copycurl -fsSL https://mirror.kargadan.ir/repository/arch-group/core/os/x86_64/core.db -o /dev/null -w 'HTTP %{http_code}\n'

Copy# /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist  (Arch Linux (all repos))

Server = https://mirror.kargadan.ir/repository/arch-group/$repo/os/$arch

CI / container example

A minimal snippet you can paste into a Dockerfile or pipeline step.

Copy# Dockerfile snippet (Arch)
FROM archlinux:latest
RUN echo 'Server = https://mirror.kargadan.ir/repository/arch-group/$repo/os/$arch' \
    > /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist \
 && pacman -Syy --noconfirm
