Introduction
We maintain a local mirror of Debian/Ubuntu packages to conserve internet bandwidth and to speed up software updates and installations. The mirror is preconfigured as package source in the standard images for both cloud and dedicated servers. When installing manually, you can configure it using the directives below.
IPv6
If your server is IPv6 capable, you can also access the mirror directly with IPv6. There are no necessary changes.
Debian 12 (bookworm)
The mirror can be added by creating a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hetzner-mirror.list
file with the following content
