Packagist Mirror
A tool to create a local or public mirror of Packagist metadata for faster Composer package downloads in regions with slow internet.
What is Packagist Mirror?
Packagist Mirror is a tool for creating a local or public mirror of the Packagist.org metadata repository used by PHP Composer. It solves the problem of slow package downloads in regions with poor connectivity or high latency from the main Packagist servers by caching metadata closer to the user.
PHP developers, DevOps engineers, and organizations in regions with slow or unreliable internet access to Packagist.org, or those wanting to run an internal package repository for faster builds.
It provides a self-hosted, easy-to-deploy mirror solution that significantly speeds up Composer operations, reduces external dependency, and can be set up as a public mirror to help distribute load across the global PHP community.
