Mirror Info

Requirements:

- minimum 10 Mb Internet connection (upload speed)
- reliable hosting environment with UPS power backing and preferably generator backup
- Ability to provide 300-500 GB per month of data transfer (some parts of the world will use much less)
- Ability to configure virtual host specifically for the mirror (i.e. pfsense.example.com), to be used only for the mirror
- dedicated server the host owns and completely controls, no shared hosting accounts. The server can be used for hosting other virtual hosts.
- Provide access logs for this virtual host to us in some fashion. Accessible via FTP, or a "hidden" HTTP URL is fine.
- Ability to rsync from our server, scheduled from cron.

Information required:

- IP address(es) used for rsync
- Host
- Geographical location
- URL of mirror
- Contact information for administrator (email address)
- Add the following to your crontab:

/usr/local/bin/rsync -avz --delete --exclude="*old*" rsync://cvs.pfsense.org/mirrors /$webdir/

replacing $webdir with the location of the directory for your virtual host.
