rsync for existing mirrors
Edited on 2008-11-19 01:09:30 by ChrisBuechler
Additions:
We are currently only accepting new mirrors that are dedicated server or virtual machines where we have complete control of the system. We manage the servers ourselves, just want hosts who can provide the hardware or virtualization infrastructure and bandwidth.
- Ability to provide 1-2 Mbps 95th percentile
rsync for existing mirrors
Deletions:
- 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:
