Hello list,
Just joined because I want to make an Arch Linux mirror in Costa Rica,
but I am not sure if I can meet the requirements, mainly of bandwidth,
here is a short story:
Currently at work there is a server I no longer have use for, its an HP
proliant ML110G6. I would like this server to become an Arch mirror, our
Internet connection here is 9Mbps/9Mbps.
Questions:
- Is that bandwidth enough for a public mirror?
- Will setting up this server choke my network?
- Can I use the server for other stuff? say a web server for local
development or backup server?
- I have an Arch laptop, can I download packages from this mirror while
I am at work using the private IP address?
I have read [1] and [2] regarding this topic.

Hi Arch community
I'm Stephane de Labrusse a french linux user and I have some place for
you on my server. I do not use really Archlinux but I have friends who
use it and I like this community project.
As I'm already managing a SME Server repository (aubrac-medical.fr), I
can share some of my bandwith and hard disk for your project. Let me
know if my request need to be enhanced before to be accepted.
So I hope that I will be in the archlinux adventure.
This is my bug report https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/35404
- -Mirror domain name
archlinux.aubrac-medical.fr
- -Geographical location of the mirror
Datacenter
- -Supported access methods (http, ftp, rsync, ...)
http, rsync no ftp for the moment but let me know if you need it
- -URLs for the above access methods
http://archlinux.aubrac-medical.fr/
rsync://archlinux.aubrac-medical.fr/archlinux
- -The name of tier 1 mirror you are syncing from, which should be one
of this:
uk2.net (Great Britain) - rsync://mirrors.uk2.net/archlinux/
- -An administrative contact email
stephdl(a)de-labrusse.fr
- -Please join the arch-mirrors mailing list.
I will do it
Please ensure the following, to provide consistent mirroring and keep
the upstream mirror's load low:
- -Sync all contents of the upstream mirror (i.e. do not sync only some
repositories)
All folders are synced
- -Use the following rsync options: -rtlvH --delete-after
- --delay-updates --safe-links --max-delete=1000
I use these options
- -Do not rsync more rapidly than every hour
every hour I make a rsync by a cron entry
- --
