Verify which mirror I am using?

[theprogram (MatH)]

I have set a particular mirror in my DNF config that I want to use.

For example Index of /pub/fedora/linux/updates/43/Everything/x86_64/

How can I verify that I am using that mirror?

When I run dnf update, it shows me

Repositories loaded.

But does not say which mirror that is.

[anothermindbomb (Steve Flynn)]

closest I could get was the output from sudo dnf repoinfo and then eyeballing by hand… err… eye and hoping it didn’t change for the actual pull of the repo itself.

Would be nice to see which server was supplying the repository information, however.

[theprogram (MatH)]

According to Vlad in How to find out which mirror host is being used by netinstall? - #4 by vgaetera
The mirror list is supplied by rpm-software-manager and the mirrormanager application.

I am unsure if the mirror list is locally hosted or mirrormanager.fedoraproject.org and the same at rpmfusion is contacted.

[theprogram (MatH)]

Edit: The second command

@steppybug

dnf --dump-repo-config=updates

dnf rq --qf ‘%{name} %{location}\n’ bash

Tells me where I downloaded a certain package from - which is very useful.

What I want to know is what mirror I am connecting to at the time I am running updates or downloading new packages.

[theprogram (MatH)]

Using netstat, I found that running dnf update connects to mirrormanager at 158.69.60.128 IP Address Details - IPinfo.io

[theprogram (MatH)]

Yes, all the repos have metalinks, however I am using the dnf override .repo you showed me in another thread - which I have confirmed does work, but the repo I connect to not show in with dnf --dump-repo-config=*

So while I have verified that me last download came from the mirror specified in the override .repo - I still want to know proactively what repo I will connect to.

[augenauf (Flo)]

DNF Command Reference — DNF @DNF_VERSION@-1 documentation shows -v and --verbose but apparently, those options don’t exist in dnf5 anymore.

see also:

• dnf5 does not accept -v/--verbose options · Issue #464 · rpm-software-management/dnf5 · GitHub and
• Changes between DNF and DNF5 — dnf5 documentation

sudo dnf4 update -v

…still works and shows you the mirror.

[yuntaz (Sakiko Togawa)]

If you run tail -n 10 -f /var/log/dnf5.log during the update/download, does it show the information you need?

[ilikelinux]

There is a new command in DNF5 like:

dnf repoinfo or dnf repo info

It seams to show the last used mirror.

[theprogram (MatH)]

Excellent and very informative command. I highly recommend anyone interested in how dnf works to run it.
It is too long to post it all but here is a sample.

and etc

However it does not show which mirror I will connect to.
On the upside I am learning a lot about how dnf mirror manager works.

Note also I am using an override file in /etc/dnf/repos.override.d/ which I believe I have confirmed will be respected during downloads and updates, but is not shown in tail while running dnf update

Thats it! It shows the override file and thus specifies the mirror that will be used!

I’ll test later to see if it only shows the last used mirror, or updates to show the mirror that will be used.

[theprogram (MatH)]

So I removed the override file and run the command again and now I get

$ dnf repoinfo

So the command dnf repoinfo does indeed show the mirror that will be used.
No restart needed.

[theprogram (MatH)]

No. Good point, I was wondering how quickly the mirror from the mirror manager would change.
But as I want to use this command to verify if manually added mirrors or overrides are working, I think that it is good enough and I am satisfied.

[anothermindbomb (Steve Flynn)]

That’s what I was trying to say up top - it shows the mirror currently being used, but not necessarily the one which will be used for the actual pull, as there’s every chance a load balancer or a VIP will kick in and route the actual update to another of the “(21 more)” referred to as an example.

[theprogram (MatH)]

You are correct, I had an error in my repo override so it did not click at the time.
In the upside I learnt a lot about DNF along the thread.
As you got the solution first I have reassigned it to you, thanks everyone for the fantastic help.
