## Why
OS package remotes (rpm/deb/apk) fetch many small files and benefit from spreading upstream load across mirrors and surviving a mirror outage. A remote may now set a **`mirrorlist`** of additional upstream base URLs. The effective upstream pool is **`[base_url] + mirrorlist`**, which the shared proxy engine load-balances **round-robin** and, on a network error/timeout/5xx, **fails over** to the next mirror before returning an error. Selection happens in the engine, so it works for every provider that reaches upstream.
**Backward compatible:** `base_url` stays a plain string (providers read it unchanged), and a remote with **no mirrorlist behaves exactly as today** (single attempt, same error path).
## How
- `models.Remote.Mirrorlist` (`[]string`, `json:"mirrorlist,omitempty"`) + `UpstreamPool()` = `[base_url] + mirrorlist`.
- `ValidateMirrorlist`: a non-empty mirrorlist is allowed **only** when `repo_type==remote` **and** `package_type ∈ {rpm, deb, alpine}`; each entry must be an http/https URL. Enforced in the v2 create/update handlers (400 otherwise); `base_url` stays required for remotes.
- Persist the mirrorlist in a new additive `mirrorlist TEXT[]` column (`remoteCols`/`scanRemote`/`CreateRemote`/`UpdateRemote`); the `base_url` column is unchanged.
- Engine keeps a per-remote round-robin cursor over the pool; the fetch/head/revalidate upstream calls run in a failover loop that narrows the remote to one selected mirror per attempt. Only network errors and 5xx fail over (404/403/… return as-is). The circuit breaker stays keyed per remote and trips only after all mirrors fail.
## Scope
Round-robin + failover only, restricted to **remote rpm/deb/apk** repos. Least-connections and a per-remote strategy selector are a **follow-up PR**.
## Tests
- Unit: model JSON round-trip + validation gating (rejected on non-rpm/deb/apk and on local, accepted on rpm/deb/apk, bad URL rejected), engine round-robin/failover/no-mirrorlist-unchanged, DB mirrorlist round-trip. `make test` (`go test -race`) green.
- Docker acceptance (`e2e-docker`, `dockere2e` tag, wired into `docker-e2e.sh`): round-robin distribution across two mock upstreams, failover past a dead primary, no-mirrorlist regression, and a **real `dnf` makecache + install** through a two-mirror rpm remote whose `base_url` is dead. All four pass locally.

Dockerised end-to-end suite
Black-box tests that run against a fully containerised artifactapi stack
(built image + Postgres + Redis + MinIO) plus a static mock upstream. Unlike the
in-process e2e/ suite (testcontainers, server run in-process), these only speak
HTTP to the running product, so they exercise the shipped container image.
Run
make docker-e2e # build image, compose up, run suite, compose down
scripts/docker-e2e.sh builds and starts docker-compose.yml +
docker-compose.e2e.yml, waits for /health, then runs
go test -tags=dockere2e ./e2e-docker/... and tears everything down.
The stack publishes artifactapi on host port 8001 (to avoid colliding with a
local instance on 8000). Override with ARTIFACTAPI_URL to point the tests at an
already-running stack.
Coverage
- Repository lifecycle — add / change / delete for remote, local and virtual repos.
- Caching — one immutable artifact per remote package type (generic, docker,
helm, pypi, npm, rpm, alpine, puppet, terraform, goproxy) proxied through the
mock upstream: first fetch
X-Artifact-Source: remote, secondcache, bytes verified against the origin fixture. - Local uploads — generic (upload/download), pypi (wheel + generated
simple/index), rpm (real package + automatic repodata generation). - Virtual repositories — pypi simple-index merge and helm
index.yamlmerge across two members. - Mirrorlist — an rpm remote with a
mirrorlistof extra upstream mirrors (pool =base_url+mirrorlist): round-robin distribution across both mirrors (constant-bodymockupstreama/mockupstreamb), failover past a dead primary, no-mirrorlist regression, and a realdnf(stockrockylinux:9container)makecache+installthrough a two-mirror rpm remote whosebase_urlis dead — a dead mirror must not break the client.
Fixtures
fixtures/ is served by the mock upstream at its web root. Paths mirror each
provider's upstream URL layout (e.g. v2/... for docker, v1/providers/... for
terraform). The RPM under fixtures/rpmrepo/Packages/ is a real package so the
rpm provider can parse its metadata for repodata generation.
