Self-hosted runners (arc-runner-set, bigger-runner) cannot reach
azure.archive.ubuntu.com — they live in different networks (e.g. our
arc-runner-set Kubernetes cluster) where Azure's mirror IP is not
routable. Symptom: "Connection failed [IP: 51.11.236.225 80]" with each
Ign:/Err: cycle taking 60s, hanging the build for ~16 minutes before
exit 100.
Pick the mirror based on `runner.environment`:
* github-hosted (ubuntu-latest, ubuntu-24.04-arm) → Azure
(http://azure.archive.ubuntu.com / http://azure.ports.ubuntu.com)
— same VPC as the runner.
* self-hosted (arc-runner-set, bigger-runner) → kernel.org
(https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org for both archive and ports)
— publicly reachable from any network.
The choice now lives in one place: the .github/actions/configure-apt-mirror
composite action exposes `effective-mirror` / `effective-ports-mirror`
outputs so the reusable workflows can forward the same value as Docker
build-args without duplicating the per-runner-environment branch.
The now-redundant `apt-mirror` / `apt-ports-mirror` workflow inputs on
image_build.yml and backend_build.yml are dropped — defaults live in the
composite action and are visible there.

* feat(ci): allow routing apt traffic through an alternate Ubuntu mirror
Adds opt-in APT_MIRROR / APT_PORTS_MIRROR knobs to all Dockerfiles, the
Makefile, and CI workflows so we can fail over to a non-canonical Ubuntu
mirror when archive.ubuntu.com / security.ubuntu.com / ports.ubuntu.com
are degraded (recently observed: multi-day DDoS against the default pool).
Defaults are empty everywhere — behavior is unchanged unless a mirror is
configured. To enable in CI, set the repo-level GitHub Actions variables
APT_MIRROR (and APT_PORTS_MIRROR for arm64 builds). Locally:
make docker APT_MIRROR=http://azure.archive.ubuntu.com
A small POSIX-sh helper in .docker/apt-mirror.sh rewrites both DEB822
(/etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.sources, Ubuntu 24.04+) and the legacy
/etc/apt/sources.list before the first apt-get update. Dockerfile stages
load it via RUN --mount=type=bind, so there is no extra layer and no
cache invalidation when the script is unchanged. Reusable workflows also
rewrite the runner's own /etc/apt sources before any sudo apt-get call.

* ci(apt-mirror): default to the Azure mirror, visible in the workflow source
Bakes Azure (http://azure.archive.ubuntu.com / http://azure.ports.ubuntu.com)
in as the default for both Docker builds and runner-side apt — rather than
hiding the URL behind a GitHub Actions repo variable that's not visible
from the source tree.
A new composite action at .github/actions/configure-apt-mirror is the
single source of truth for runner-side rewrites. Five standalone
workflows (build-test, release, tests-e2e, tests-ui-e2e, update_swagger)
just `uses: ./.github/actions/configure-apt-mirror`.
Three workflows (image_build, backend_build, checksum_checker) keep an
inline bash rewrite, because they install/upgrade git via apt *before*
the checkout step (so the local composite action isn't loadable yet).
The Azure URL is visible in those files too.
The `apt-mirror` / `apt-ports-mirror` inputs of the reusable workflows
keep their now-Azure defaults — they still feed the Docker build-args
block in addition to the inline runner-side rewrite. Callers (image.yml,
image-pr.yml, backend.yml, backend_pr.yml) drop the previous
`vars.APT_MIRROR` plumbing and rely on those defaults.

* ci(apt-mirror): drop Force Install GIT, consolidate on the composite action
The PPA git upgrade ran add-apt-repository ppa:git-core/ppa, which talks
to api.launchpad.net — also part of Canonical's infrastructure and
currently returning HTTP 504. The Azure mirror only covers
archive.ubuntu.com / security.ubuntu.com / ports.ubuntu.com, not PPAs.
The system git that ubuntu-latest already ships is sufficient for
actions/checkout and the build pipeline, so just drop the upgrade. With
that gone, the apt-before-checkout constraint disappears too — all three
holdouts (image_build, backend_build, checksum_checker) can now switch
to ./.github/actions/configure-apt-mirror like the other five.
Net: 0 inline apt-mirror blocks, all 8 workflows route through the
composite action.

- Switch cache-from/cache-to in backend_build.yml and image_build.yml
from the unused gha cache to type=registry pointing at
quay.io/go-skynet/ci-cache:cache<tag-suffix>, mode=max with
ignore-error=true. Master/tag builds populate their own
per-matrix-entry cache; PR builds read-only.
- Drop the broken generate_grpc_cache.yaml cron. It targeted a `grpc`
Dockerfile stage that was removed by b1fc5acd in July 2025, has been
failing every night since, and never populated the gha cache. The new
registry-cache scheme is self-warming, so no separate populator is
needed.
- Remove the dead GRPC_VERSION / GRPC_BASE_IMAGE / GRPC_MAKEFLAGS
build-args from image_build.yml and the orphan ARG GRPC_BASE_IMAGE in
the root Dockerfile (the root Dockerfile no longer compiles gRPC; the
source build now lives in backend/Dockerfile.{llama-cpp,
ik-llama-cpp, turboquant} only and uses its own ARG defaults).
- Drop the unused grpc-base-image input from image_build.yml plus the
matrix passthroughs in image.yml / image-pr.yml.
- Drop the unused GRPC_VERSION env in test.yml.

AIO images are behind, and takes effort to maintain these. Wizard and
installation of models have been semplified massively, so AIO images
lost their purpose.
This allows us to be more laser focused on main images and reliefes
stress from CI.

The backend gallery can be configured similarly as a model gallery, and

well during the startup phase of LocalAI.
