vee mirror

Manage the host-side pacman caching proxy (pacoloco) used by Arch VMs. It runs as a systemd --user unit on localhost:9129 so identical packages aren’t re-downloaded every time you create an Arch VM.

vee mirror <subcommand>

Install (if needed) and start the pacoloco user unit, then print its status.

vee mirror start

Show the unit state and cache size — unit name, active/inactive, whether it’s installed, listener URL, guest URL, cache directory, and cache size.

vee mirror status

Stop and disable the pacoloco user unit.

vee mirror stop

Delete all cached packages on disk.

vee mirror purge

See docs/pacman-mirror.md for how the mirror is wired into Arch guests.
