Yesterday, [git.savannah.gnu.org](http://git.savannah.gnu.org) was down due to a ddos. I had just completed a fresh install of guix as a system and could not `guix pull` because it could not be reached.

Any mirrors that can be used in these cases or do fresh installs just have to deal with it?

I can suggest that you define your own channels.scm. For example,

```auto
;;;; ~/.config/guix/channels.scm
;;;; https://guix.gnu.org/cookbook/en/html_node/Channels.html
;;;; https://gitlab.inria.fr/guix-hpc/website/-/blob/master/channels.scm

```

You can try the [officially managed Codeberg mirror](https://codeberg.org/guix/guix-mirror).

I just tried to migrate from savannah to codeberg but I was not able to find out what the correct introduction would be. With disabled authentication it worked fine.  
Can someone give me a hint, how the correct entry in channels.scm should look like for codeberg?

Thanks!

Thanks for the hint. Just changing the url to “[https://codeberg.org/guix/guix.git”](https://codeberg.org/guix/guix.git%E2%80%9D) worked.
