pacman store

We have hosted the application pacman store in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about pacman store:

Under the domain pacman.store are package mirrors provided via the IPFS-Network. If you choose this as your mirror, Pacman will download the files from a local http-proxy and the accessed files will be shared with the IPFS-Network. If you run on multiple machines in your local network IPFS will exchange the files locally rather than downloading the same file multiple times from the internet. The data is held and shared by a collaborative cluster, which is provided by volunteers. Install ipfs on each of your systems - I recommend my AUR package go-ipfs-git which uses the hardened service file. It makes sense to set the parallel downloads to two and disable the download timeout, to avoid unnecessary aborts if ipfs needs initially a bit more time to find the right peers in the network (especially on high latency internet connections).

Features:

• The default storage size for IPFS needs to be altered in the config file
• Under the domain pacman.store are package mirrors provided via the IPFS-Network
• If you run on multiple machines in your local network IPFS will exchange the files locally rather than downloading the same file multiple times from the internet
• The data is held and shared by a collaborative cluster, which is provided by volunteers
• Install IPFS as a service
• Set the parallel downloads to two and disable the download timeout, to avoid unnecessary aborts
