<![CDATA[Cloudron installation script: select alternative Ubuntu Repository mirror]]>Ubuntu Repository is often slow and unstable.

In last months I had several time same problem: unreachable, overloaded...

In Cloudron installation script it could be interesting to select (or auto shift based on ping) a different mirror as an alternative.

This is a real time video record of the speed today:

And then result is:

Cloudron does not set up the repos, that is configured by the provider.
Some providers like Hetzner use their own mirror to save bandwidth and increase speed.
Also, if someone is setting up their own repos for security or what ever reason, before setting up Cloudron, I think we should not interfere with that.
