[arch-mirrors] adding a robots.txt
by Jens Gutermuth 17 Jul '18

17 Jul '18

Hey! Looking at logs from my mirror (https://arch.jensgutermuth.de/) reveals at least Google and AHrefs are crawling my mirror, which is obviously a waste of resources for both sides. I'm thinking about blocking them (and all other crawlers) using a robots.txt file like so (nginx config snippet): location= /robots.txt { return 200 "User-agent: *\nDisallow: /\n"; allow all; access_log off; } Doing it this way prevents robots.txt from showing up in directory listings and circumvents all issues with the sync script. I know modifying mirror contents is a very touchy subject and rightfully so. I therefore wanted to ask if there is some kind of policy and if there is, if this would be allowed or a possible exception. Best regards Jens Gutermuth

[arch-mirrors] arch-mirror.wtako.net should be up from now
by Saren Arterius 14 Jul '18

Hi, the server is actually up since 10 days ago, but has its IP changed due to dynamic IP. ddclient is responsible for taking care of this, but CloudFlare removed old API for updating DNS records (now shows 410 GONE in favor of newer API in ddclient's debug message) which ddclient is currently still using unfortunately. There is no newer ddclient/any issue report about this at this moment, which means I have to find a new DDNS solution for this.
