[arch-mirrors] New IP addresses for TUNA mirror site
by TUNA mirror-admin 26 Feb '18

26 Feb '18

Hi there, I'm an admin of TUNA mirror site [1], one of the tier-1 mirrors of arch linux. We're currently setting up an addition server for our site. Therefore, serveral new IP addresses are used by our servers. Here is a full list of IP addresses that our servers will use: IPv4: - 166.111.206.63 - 166.111.206.176 - 166.111.206.177 - 166.111.206.178 IPv6: - 2402:f000:1:416:166:111:206:63 - 2402:f000:1:416:166:111:206:176 - 2402:f000:1:416:166:111:206:177 - 2402:f000:1:416:166:111:206:178 I'm wondering if the admin of rsync.archlinux.org can add our new IP addresses to the ftp_tier1 whitelist?

Hi, The leaseweb.net tier 1 mirrors have changed their URLs and some new locations have been added. Admins that sync from a leaseweb mirror, please update your source URL to reflect the change. The old URLs will continue to be available for "some time". The new URLs can be found here: https://www.archlinux.org/mirrors/leaseweb.net/ Florian

[arch-mirrors] Mirror Stats Project - Using weblogs to gather useful information
by Tyler Dence 22 Aug '17

22 Aug '17

I've made a post about this topic on the arch forums, but I thought I'd bring it to the attention of the mailing list here. So I run a mirror over at https://arlm.tyzoid.com/, and I decided it would be cool to see if I can't get some interesting information back from the logs generated. Currently, I have a list of the most downloaded packages (compiled nightly): - https://stats.arlm.tyzoid.com/pkgstats.json - https://stats.arlm.tyzoid.com/pkgstats.txt And a graph of network traffic: - https://stats.arlm.tyzoid.com/ I'm wondering if there's any other information that might be interesting to make available, or if anyone else here is interested in contributing some of their own collected data for the stats project. If so, we should get a project up on github sometime to have a unified method/web viewer. Some caveats that I impose for now, to protect privacy: - IP addresses will be available, nor any IP Prefix. - Geographic data will be made available at no more than a weekly granularity (exception for summary data which spans multiple weeks) - Geographic data will not be made available with more granularity than state/province. Perhaps there should also be some discussion regarding what logs are kept/deleted?

[arch-mirrors] Updated mirror script for better delay values on our website
by Florian Pritz 12 Aug '17

12 Aug '17

Hi, Quite a while ago I introduced the lastupdate file so that mirrors that want to sync very often (every minute) can do so without incurring high traffic overhead. The script first checks if that file changed before starting rsync. However, this simple approach did not work well with the delay statistics calculated by our website[1]. Because of this I have now updated the script so that if no changes are detected, the lastsync timestamp is still updated. I have also improved documentation and performed some refactoring. You can grab the updated script at the same location as before. Colorful link: https://git.server-speed.net/users/flo/bin/tree/syncrepo.sh DL link: https://git.server-speed.net/users/flo/bin/plain/syncrepo.sh Tier 2 admins please note that this will only reduce your mirror delay to nearly 0 if the tier 1 mirror you sync from also uses this script. If they do not use it, you will have roughly the same delay as them. I plan to contact tier 1 admins that are using the old script soon, but first I want to see how much effect sending the mail to just the mailing list has.
