How to format [custom_repo] for non-standard server URLs

[cbc02009]

I use Flexo for my home Arch Linux installs already, but I would like to add caching for some extra custom repositories that don't seem to use the format that flexo expects for their URLs.

Examples:

Server = https://us.cachyos.org/repo/$arch/$repo

for this one the $arch and $repo are swapped from the formatting of the normal arch repos. Trying this in flexo returns a 404 from the cachyos server.

Server = https://us.cachyos.org/repo/$arch_v3/$repo

Cachyos also provides builds that are optimized for different processor versions (in this case zen3). So it adds extra characters after the $arch variable.

Is there any way to specify the full server URL in the flexo config?

Is there any way to specify the full server URL in the flexo config?

I'm not sure if that makes any sense, because pacman generally sends GET requests that already include the path (which then includes the $arch and $repo). Therefore, flexo should just know the host name of the custom repo, because that is the only component of the URL that should be replaced.

for this one the $arch and $repo are swapped from the formatting of the normal arch repos.

But why is that an issue? The $arch and $repo variables are specified in /etc/pacman.conf, you can just swap them there.

Trying this in flexo returns a 404 from the cachyos server.
Server = https://us.cachyos.org/repo/$arch_v3/$repo

Where did you specify this? If you specify this in /etc/pacman.conf, then pacman sends the request directly to cachyos.org, not to flexo.

As described in the README, you have to adapt both your /etc/pacman.conf and your flexo config to use custom repositories. Please show both configs so I have a better understanding of the problem.

Hi @nroi ,

Thanks for the reply and sorry for the delayed response. Your message made me realize that the issue was a missing subpath in the pacman.conf URL, and not anything to do with Flexo. Should have been Server = http://localhost:7878/custom_repo/cachyos/repo/$arch/$repo and not Server = http://localhost:7878/custom_repo/cachyos/$arch/$repo. I was definitely overthinking it. Very much appreciate the help.
