Arch Linux: Recent news updates |
The latest and greatest news from the Arch Linux distribution. |
Recent service outages Aug 22nd 2025, 00:01 We want to provide an update on the recent service outages affecting our infrastructure. The Arch Linux Project is currently experiencing an ongoing denial of service attack that primarily impacts our main webpage, the Arch User Repository (AUR), and the Forums. We are aware of the problems that this creates for our end users and will continue to actively work with our hosting provider to mitigate the attack. We are also evaluating DDoS protection providers while carefully considering factors including cost, security, and ethical standards. To improve the communication around this issue we will provide regular updates on our service status page going forward. As a volunteer-driven project, we appreciate the community's patience as our DevOps team works to resolve these issues. Please bear with us and thank you for all the support you have shown so far. Workarounds during service disruption - In the case of downtime for archlinux.org:
- Mirrors: The mirror list endpoint used in tools like
reflector is hosted on this site. Please default to the mirrors listed in the pacman-mirrorlist package during an outage. - ISO: Our installation image is available on a lot of the mirrors, for example the DevOps administered geomirrors. Please always verify its integrity as described on the wiki and confirm it is signed by
0x54449A5C (or other trusted keys that may be used in the future). - In the case of downtime for aur.archlinux.org:
- Packages: We maintain a mirror of AUR packages on GitHub. You can retrieve a package using:
$ git clone --branch <package_name> --single-branch https://github.com/archlinux/aur.git <package_name> Additional remarks -
Our services may send an initial connection reset due to the TCP SYN authentication performed by our hosting provider, but subsequent requests should work as expected. -
We are keeping technical details about the attack, its origin and our mitigation tactics internal while the attack is still ongoing. https://archlinux.org/news/recent-services-outages/ |
