Heya, I use several Manjaro Instances in my private network (2 workstations, 3 laptops, several vms, …) and I often have internet connection issues. I therefore implemented a Manjaro Mirror for my “intranet”. I basically followed this guide here:
So: minimalistic manjaro installation on a VM using architect, putting Apache on it, using the mentioned rsync script and be good. Worked like a charm AND I was learning systemd instead of cron - definately a well done little project.
I had one minor issue from the get go - some updates on the clients refreshed the file /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist and I had to add my local mirror again. I was too lazy to find a solution to that yet (any hint would be appreciated, but it’s minor at this point), but rest was good until recently.
Recently is like hte last update - was not at home so made the updates on the “normale” way via remote access and just have the time to check for it - seems that pacman just ignores my mirror completely. Any idea why this could be the case? I didn’t change anything in the mirror (beside it’s updates, ofc). When I add it to the mirrorlist it is ignored, when I clean the mirrorlist and add just the local mirror there are no updates available, which is also confirmed by pacman-mirrors --status (local mirror does not exist).
The mirrors are adressable (traceroute works) pingable (ya, via ping), the webserver’s payload is accessable (wget, browser), the mirror itself has sufficient storage available (for logs or something else which would block it’ work). the mirrorservice is downloading files every 6 hours as it should (if newer files are available, that is), and I am lost. I have no idea what else I could check to analyze my major problem here.
Any help, ideas or advice would be highly appreciated.
