### XBPS Package Manager
|
|
|
|
https://docs.voidlinux.org/xbps/index.html
|
|
|
|
it looks like ```arch``` linux:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
xbps-install -S <package>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
update / upgrade:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
xbps-install -Syu
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
delete package:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
xbps-remove -of <package>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Creating A Mirror
|
|
|
|
https://docs.voidlinux.org/xbps/repositories/mirrors/index.html
|
|
|
|
If you'd like to set up a mirror, and are confident you can keep it reasonably up-to-date, follow one of the many guides available for mirroring with rsync(1) (https://man.voidlinux.org/rsync.1), then submit a pull request to the void-docs (https://github.com/void-linux/void-docs) repository to add your mirror to the appropriate mirror table on this page.
|
|
|
|
A full mirror requires around 1TB of storage. It is also possible to mirror only part of the repositories. Excluding debug packages is one way of decreasing the load on the Tier 1 mirrors, with low impact on users.
|
|
|
|
Please keep in mind that we pay bandwidth for all data sent out from the Tier 1 mirrors. You can respect this by only mirroring if your use case for your mirror will offset the network throughput consumed by your mirror syncing.

### Managing Services
|
|
|
|
(https://docs.voidlinux.org/config/services/index.html#managing-services)
|
|
|
|
basic usage of ```sv``` services manager:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sv up <services>
|
|
sv down <services>
|
|
sv restart <services>
|
|
sv status <services>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The <services> placeholder can be:
|
|
- Service names (service directory names) inside the /var/service/ directory.
|
|
- The full paths to the services.
|
|
|
|
|
|
for instance:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sv status dhcpcd
|
|
sv status /var/service/*
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Enabling Services
|
|
|
|
Void Linux provides service directories for most daemons in /etc/sv/.
|
|
|
|
To enable a service on a booted system, create a symlink to the service directory in /var/service/:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ln -s /etc/sv/<service> /var/service/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If the system is not currently running, the service can be linked directly into the default runsvdir:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
ln -s /etc/sv/<service> /etc/runit/runsvdir/default/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will automatically start the service. Once a service is linked it will always start on boot and restart if it stops, unless administratively downed.
|
|
|
|
To prevent a service from starting at boot while allowing runit to manage it, create a file named down in its service directory:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
touch /etc/sv/<service>/down
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The down file mechanism also makes it possible to disable services that are enabled by default, such as the agetty(8) (https://man.voidlinux.org/agetty.8) services for ttys 1 to 6. This way, package updates which affect these services (in this case, the runit-void package) won't re-enable them.
|
|
|
|
#### Disabling Services
|
|
|
|
To disable a service, remove the symlink from the running runsvdir:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
rm /var/service/<service>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or, for example, from the default runsvdir, if either the specific runsvdir, or the system, is not currently running:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
rm /etc/runit/runsvdir/default/<service>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Testing Services
|
|
|
|
To check if a service is working correctly when started by the service supervisor, run it once before fully enabling it:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
touch /etc/sv/<service>/down
|
|
ln -s /etc/sv/<service> /var/service/
|
|
sv once <service>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If everything works, remove the down file to enable the service. |
