Finding the fastest mirror
After you install Alpine, you may be wondering how do I figure out the fastest mirror again?
You could run /sbin/setup-apkrepos again.
The following script shows the closest mirror for a single ping, which might not be accurate:
Contents of /home/user/fastestmirror
data=""
for s in $(wget -qO- http://rsync.alpinelinux.org/alpine/MIRRORS.txt); do
t=$(time -f "%E" wget -q $s/MIRRORS.txt -O /dev/null 2>&1)
echo "$s was $t"
data="$data$t $s\n"
done
echo "===RESULTS==="
echo -e $data | sort
