The user experience of using multipass in China is not quite good.

  • The process of cloud image download from the official site https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com is interrupted quite often.
  • I also hit the issue from time to time in poor network conditions Network timeout too aggressive #386
  • If i was lucky enough, the whole process to download an image from the above URL would take 1~2h, which is really painful.

So I'm wondering if there's a way to configure mirrors in multipass so that I can use something like the URL[1] as a mirror to boost the image download speed.
That could be really helpful for multipass users in China.

Thanks
Gary

Hey @adglkh,

Certainly, this would be a welcome addition. #276 needs to be solved before, though, so we can authenticate the images downloaded.

2632: Download image from mirror site r=townsend2010 a=rim99

Hi team, I would like to present a PR for issue: #717

**Feature: mirror of cloud images**

By setting `local.image.mirror`, users can download images from mirror sites instead of the official one. The feature can be disabled by leaving the config empty.

**Implementation**

When updating product versions, it will choose the manifest from mirror site if possible. Since mirror sites is syncing with official site periodically, the latest version in official site may not exist in mirror sites.

Only if the content of a version is *identical* to the same version from official site, it will be updated into the `manifests` cache of `UbuntuVMImageHost` instance.

2673: Fix inconsistent `list` output r=townsend2010 a=sharder996

Fixes `list` output so that all formats output `release` + `image` for the `release` field. eg.
```
ubuntu:build$ multipass list --format yaml
foo:
  - state: Running
    ipv4:
      - 10.3.183.81
    release: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
persuasive-ruff:
  - state: Deleted
    ipv4:
      []
    release: Not Available
```
Fixes #2464

when you visit https://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/ubuntu-cloud-images/ , you can't find the directory release, which will cause something wrong as below:

launch failed: Remote "release" is unknown or unreachable. If image mirror is enabled, please confirm it is valid.

but, you can try the following commands

multipass set local.image.mirror=https://mirrors.cloud.tencent.com/ubuntu-cloud-images/

it works fine.
