Termux-packages: [Major outage] Quota limit for termux-packages is reached

Created on 1 Oct 2019  路  22Comments  路  Source: termux/termux-packages

What happened ?

We received more download requests than expected and hit our quota limit. Repository https://dl.bintray.com/termux/termux-packages-24 was suspended.

Current status: appears to be resolved

What to do ?

Either wait or try repo snapshot on IPFS (expect high latency or download timeout, it's p2p and seeded from my PC):

Gateway 0:

deb https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmVAkuhfFfLBeTKCYYXWBvb3WxgZqDvd8qd7cvQjyrSvhr/ stable main

Gateway 1:

deb https://cloudflare-ipfs.com/ipfs/QmVAkuhfFfLBeTKCYYXWBvb3WxgZqDvd8qd7cvQjyrSvhr/ stable main

Gateway 2:

deb https://ipfs.eternum.io/ipfs/QmVAkuhfFfLBeTKCYYXWBvb3WxgZqDvd8qd7cvQjyrSvhr/ stable main

Gateway 3:

deb https://hardbin.com/ipfs/QmVAkuhfFfLBeTKCYYXWBvb3WxgZqDvd8qd7cvQjyrSvhr/ stable main

Don't forget to temporarily comment out the bintray link in your sources.list before using mirror. Note that links above will no longer be valid after fixing the issue.

Script for automatic mirror switching:

curl -o add-mirror.sh https://linx.li/add-mirror.sh
sh add-mirror.sh 0

it will comment out the termux-packages repository and put the selected mirror (0-3) to alternate sources.list config.

To remove changes applied with add-mirror.sh, do:

curl -o remove-mirror.sh https://linx.li/remove-mirror.sh
sh remove-mirror.sh

is what i've done personally, apt update still has the error but works anyway

approximately how long do we need to wait?
because I just reinstalled termux (storage issues) and I don't have a single text editor installed

approximately how long do we need to wait?

One day, probably more.

Any way to increases the timeout when using ipfs? I keep getting:

Operation too slow. Less than 10 bytes/sec transferred the last 120 seconds

goodevilgenius picture goodevilgenius on 1 Oct 2019

@landfillbaby It's too many requests causing the quota to cap out

$ deb https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmVAkuhfFfLBeTKCYYXWBvb3WxgZqDvd8qd7cvQjyrSvhr/ stable main
No command 'deb' found, did you mean:
Command 'derb' from package 'icu-devtools'
Command 'dub' from package 'ldc'

@ParaDoxX08 It's not a command, that is a line to add into the apt sources file

(I removed the games and science repos to reduce the output.)

Comment out the line containing https://dl.bintray.com/termux/termux-packages-24 in $PREFIX/etc/apt/sources.list.

xeffyr picture xeffyr on 1 Oct 2019

You don't have problem with ipfs link

Hit:1 https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmVAkuhfFfLBeTKCYYXWBvb3WxgZqDvd8qd7cvQjyrSvhr stable InRelease

xeffyr picture xeffyr on 1 Oct 2019

Or you can just ignore that error without commenting anything. Index will be fetched anyway.

xeffyr picture xeffyr on 1 Oct 2019

See comment https://github.com/termux/termux-packages/issues/4358#issuecomment-536875603.
There 2 variants, appending line directly to $PREFIX/etc/apt/sources.list or creating new sources file in $PREFIX/etc/apt/sources.list.d/

xeffyr picture xeffyr on 1 Oct 2019

@amida141 Since you now have Hit:1 https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmVAkuhfFfLBeTKCYYXWBvb3WxgZqDvd8qd7cvQjyrSvhr stable InRelease - it works. You can ignore error about termux-packages.

xeffyr picture xeffyr on 1 Oct 2019

@amida141 Your IPFS link seems to be working so just comment out the line containing https://dl.bintray.com/termux/termux-packages-24 in $PREFIX/etc/apt/sources.list.

yubrajbhoi picture yubrajbhoi on 1 Oct 2019

@xeffyr
The error prevents apt/pkg from continuing. Commenting out the default repo is necessary.

dragonmaus picture dragonmaus on 1 Oct 2019

It may prevent pkg from continuing but with just apt update then apt install <some packages> works.

I added script for automating this:

curl -o add-mirror.sh https://linx.li/add-mirror.sh
sh add-mirror.sh 0

run without arguments to see available mirror shortcuts.
Later will add another script for undoing changes.

Seems termux-packages is now restored and working.
Mirror link can be removed. Those who used script/commands from https://github.com/termux/termux-packages/issues/4358#issuecomment-536875603 or https://github.com/termux/termux-packages/issues/4358#issuecomment-537015509 can use 

curl -o remove-mirror.sh https://linx.li/remove-mirror.sh
sh remove-mirror.sh
