Usage

Warning:
  • In the following examples, /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist will be overwritten. Make a backup before proceeding.
  • Make sure the resulting /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist does not contain entries that you consider untrustworthy before syncing or updating with pacman.

To see all of the available commands, run the following command:

Examples

Verbosely rate and sort the five most recently synchronized mirrors by download speed, and overwrite the file /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist:

Automation

Witn

systemd service

Since version 2020.8, Reflector ships with an enableable reflector.service.

The service will run reflector with the parameters specified in /etc/xdg/reflector/reflector.conf. This file accepts all of the reflector command-line arguments. Arguments may be grouped together on a single line or split across many lines, with optional blank lines and comment lines beginning with #. The default configuration file should serve as a good starting point and example.

For example, to select the 5 most up-to-date mirrors from France and Germany that support HTTPS and override /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist, use

Enablereflector.service to run Reflector on boot. To run it immediately, start the service.

systemd timer

Since version 2020.8, Reflector provides a systemd timer (reflector.timer) that starts the #systemd servicereflector.service weekly. The schedule can be changed by editingreflector.timer.

First edit the configuration file as described in #systemd service. After you have updated the configuration file, start and enablereflector.timer.

To refresh the mirrorlist ahead of schedule, startreflector.service.

pacman hook

Reason:pacman-mirrorlist is not updated regularly, invoking reflector only because some mirror on the other side of the globe was added or removed does not make sense. It also does not make sense to provide a hook just because it is possible, since the package provides a timer-based automation. Automating the removal of mirrorlist.pacnew does not make sense; if you do not want the file at all, use NoExtract in pacman.conf. (Discuss in Talk:Reflector#)

You can create a pacman hook that will start reflector.service and remove the .pacnew file created every time pacman-mirrorlist gets an upgrade.

Set desired mirror options in /etc/xdg/reflector/reflector.conf as described in #systemd service.

This is also provided by reflector-mirrorlist-updateAUR.
