Cache

Hosted Binary Cache

GitHub Container Registry

• The prebuilt binaries are stored on PkgForge's Github Organization at: https://github.com/orgs/pkgforge/packages?repo_name=bincache

• This is achieved with oras & allows us to use Github Container Registry for a transparent & complete history (tags) of all previous versions.

• This is our primary cache, and the rest are backups based on this one.

---

GitHub Releases

• The prebuilt binaries are also mirrored at: https://github.com/pkgforge/bincache/releases

• This is achieved by redownloading ghcr packages and then reuploading them to Github Releases

• This is our secondary cache, and may not have all the packages due to github rate limits , is usually a week behind the main cache & serves as backup in case ghcr goes down

---

HuggingFace Hub

• The prebuilt binaries are also stored on Pkgforge's Hugging Face Repository at: https://huggingface.co/datasets/pkgforge/bincache

• This is achieved with git-lfs & allows us to have a transparent & complete history (snapshots) of all previous versions.

• This is our secondary cache, and may not have all the packages, is usually a week behind the main cache & serves as backup in case ghcr goes down

CloudFlare R2

• Some of the prebuilt binaries are also stored on Pkgforge's CloudFlare R2 Bucket at: https://bin.pkgforge.dev/

• This is achieved with rClone & allows us to have the most reliable & fastest access to the core binaries we depend on.

• This cache reserve does NOT contain everything & is meant for pkgforge's CI use only
