# Arch Linux Mirror Stack
|
||||
|
||||
A self-hosted Arch Linux package mirror that provides local access to Arch Linux packages, reducing bandwidth usage and improving package download speeds for local Arch Linux systems.
|
||||
|
||||
## Services Overview
|
||||
|
||||
- **rsync-mirror**: Automated synchronization service that mirrors Arch Linux packages from upstream
|
||||
- **nginx-server**: HTTP server that serves the mirrored packages to local clients
|
||||
|
||||
## Key Features
|
||||
|
||||
- **Automated Syncing**: Scheduled rsync synchronization with upstream Arch Linux mirrors
|
||||
- **Local Package Serving**: Fast HTTP access to packages for local Arch Linux installations
|
||||
- **Bandwidth Optimization**: Reduces external bandwidth usage for multiple Arch Linux systems
|
||||
- **Health Monitoring**: Built-in health checks for both sync and web services
|
||||
- **Customizable Sync**: Configurable sync schedules and rsync options
|
||||
|
||||
## Architecture
|
||||
|
||||
### Sync Process
|
||||
1. **rsync-mirror** container runs scheduled sync jobs using supercronic
|
||||
2. Downloads packages from configured upstream mirror
|
||||
3. Stores packages in shared volume
|
||||
4. **nginx-server** serves packages via HTTP
|
||||
|
||||
### Storage
|
||||
- Shared volume between containers for package storage
|
||||
- Read-only access for nginx service ensures data integrity
|
||||
- Configurable storage path for flexible deployment
|
||||
|
||||
## Links & Documentation

|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### Environment Variables
|
||||
Copy `stack.env` to `stack.env.real` and configure:
|
||||
|
||||
- `MIRROR_URL`: Upstream Arch Linux mirror URL for rsync
|
||||

|
||||
- `TZ`: Timezone for scheduling
|
||||
- `RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTIONS`: Additional rsync options for fine-tuning

|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
### Client Configuration
|
||||
Configure Arch Linux clients to use the local mirror by editing `/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist`:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
## Local mirror
|
||||
Server = http://your-server-ip:8080/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
|
||||
|
||||
## Fallback mirrors
|
||||
# ... other mirrors
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Sync Monitoring
|
||||
- Monitor sync container logs for sync status and errors
|
||||
- Health checks ensure services are running properly
|
||||
- Nginx access logs show package download activity
|
||||
|
||||
## Storage Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
- **Full Mirror**: ~60-80GB for complete Arch Linux repository
|
||||
- **Growth**: Expect ~1-2GB growth per month
|
||||
- **I/O**: SSD storage recommended for better performance during sync operations
|
||||
|
||||
## Sync Strategy
|
||||
|
||||
### Recommended Schedule
|
||||
- **Frequent Updates**: Every 4-6 hours for active development
|
||||
- **Conservative**: Daily syncs for stable environments
|
||||
- **Bandwidth Considerations**: Schedule during low-usage periods
|
||||
|
||||
### Upstream Mirror Selection
|
||||
Choose geographically close, reliable mirrors from the [official mirror list](https://archlinux.org/mirrorlist/).
|
||||
|
||||
## Custom Builds
|
||||
|
||||
The stack uses custom Dockerfiles for both rsync and nginx services, allowing for:
|
||||
- Optimized container sizing
|
||||
- Specific configuration needs
|
||||
- Custom sync scripts and monitoring
|
||||
|
||||
## Dependencies
|
||||
|
||||

### DNS Flow
|
||||
1. Client DNS requests → Pi-hole (port 53)
|
||||
2. Pi-hole checks blocklists → Blocks or allows
|
||||
3. Allowed requests → DNSCrypt-proxy (port 5353)
|
||||
4. DNSCrypt-proxy → Encrypted upstream DNS servers
|
||||
5. Response flows back through the chain
|
||||
|
||||
### Security Features
|
||||
- **Encrypted Upstream**: DNSCrypt-proxy encrypts DNS queries to upstream servers

## Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
### Environment Variables

||||
Copy `stack.env` to `stack.env.real` and configure:
|
||||
|
||||
- `TZ`: Timezone for log timestamps
|
||||
- `PIHOLE_WEBPASSWORD`: Password for Pi-hole web interface
|
||||
- `PIHOLE_DNS_PORT`: DNS server port (default: 53)
|
||||
- `PIHOLE_HTTP_PORT`: Web interface port (default: 80)
|
||||
- `SERVICE_DATA_ROOT_PATH`: Base path for Pi-hole configuration data
|
||||
|
||||
### DNSCrypt Configuration
|
||||
The DNSCrypt-proxy configuration file is located at:
|
||||
`${SERVICE_DATA_ROOT_PATH}/dnscrypt/dnscrypt-proxy.toml`
|
||||
|
||||
### Network Access
|
||||
- **DNS Service**: Port 53 (TCP/UDP) - Configure as DNS server for network devices
|
||||
- **Web Interface**: Port 80 (or configured `PIHOLE_HTTP_PORT`)
|
||||
- **Admin Panel**: Access via `http://your-server-ip:port/admin`
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Network Configuration
|
||||
Configure your router or devices to use Pi-hole as the DNS server:
|
||||
- **Router**: Set DNS server to Pi-hole IP address
|
||||
- **Individual Devices**: Configure network settings to use Pi-hole IP
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Initial Setup
|
||||
1. Access web interface at `http://your-server-ip:port/admin`
|
||||
2. Login with configured password
|
||||
3. Configure blocklists under "Group Management" → "Adlists"
|
||||
4. Update gravity database to apply blocklists
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Testing
|
||||
- Visit `http://doubleclick.net` - should be blocked
|
||||
- Check Pi-hole dashboard for blocked queries
|
||||
- Verify DNS resolution is working for legitimate domains
|
||||
|
||||
## Blocklist Management
|
||||
|
||||
### Default Lists
|
||||
Pi-hole comes with several default blocklists. Popular additions include:
|
||||
|
||||
- **StevenBlack Unified**: Comprehensive hosts file
|
||||
- **AdGuard Base Filter**: AdGuard's main blocklist
|
||||
- **EasyList**: Popular browser extension list
|
||||
- **Malware Domain List**: Security-focused blocking
|
||||
|
||||
### Custom Lists
|
||||
Add custom blocklists via:
|
||||
- Web interface: Group Management → Adlists
|
||||
- Manual file editing: Add domains to local blocklist files
|
||||
|
||||
## Advanced Features
|
||||
|
||||
### Conditional Forwarding
|
||||
Configure local domain resolution for internal networks.
|
||||
|
||||
### DHCP Replacement
|
||||
Pi-hole can replace your router's DHCP server for better integration.
|
||||
|
||||
### API Access
|
||||
REST API available for external integrations and monitoring.
|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
- **Memory Usage**: Minimal resource requirements (~100MB RAM)
|
||||
- **Storage**: Logs and configuration require modest disk space
|
||||
- **Network Impact**: Negligible latency impact on DNS resolution
|
||||
- **Query Volume**: Handles thousands of queries per minute efficiently
|
||||
|
||||
## Monitoring & Maintenance
|
||||
|
||||
### Dashboard Metrics
|
||||
- Total queries processed
|
||||
- Percentage of blocked queries
|
||||
- Top blocked domains
|
||||
- Query volume over time
|
||||
- Client activity statistics
|
||||
|
||||
### Log Management
|
||||
- Query logs with filtering options
|
||||
- Long-term trend analysis
|
||||
- Privacy-focused logging controls
|
||||
|
||||
## Dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
- Network access for initial blocklist downloads
|
||||
