[arch-mirrors] CDN based/caching mirror?
by Kristian Klausen 04 Mar '20

04 Mar '20

Hi I'm considering setting up a Arch Linux mirror and I'm considering a different design. So instead of mirroring the whole thing, the idea is to mirror only the database files (core.db etc) and download the packages on demand from a Tier 1 mirror (and let nginx cache them). By doing it that way, I only download requested packages from the Tier 1 mirrors, instead of downloading the whole thing (saving Tier 1 bandwidth). To provide even better performance a CDN (ex: Cloudflare) could be used to provide more caching. So we end up with a setup like this: Cloudflare -> Nginx cache -> Tier1 mirrors (nginx with multiple upstream) Do I miss something? Is this a bad idea? If I do setup a mirror like that, is there any chance it could be added as a official mirror? Best regards Kristian Klausen

[arch-mirrors] Changes to archmirror.lavatech.top

Hello, I'm the sysadmin of archmirror.lavatech.top. I moved archmirror.lavatech.top's rsync source to mirror.pseudoform.org as f4st.host seems to be having issues (it didn't get updates in ~9 days) and is giving 502 on the main page. -Ave Ozkal

The idea is basically to mirror the packages when requested, instead of mirroring everything upfront. Is Arch Linux interested is that kind of mirrors? > On January 26, 2020 4:19:10 PM UTC, Kristian Klausen via arch-mirrors <arch-mirrors(a)archlinux.org> wrote: >> Hi >> >> I'm considering setting up a Arch Linux mirror and I'm considering a >> different design. >> >> So instead of mirroring the whole thing, the idea is to mirror only the >> database files (core.db etc) and download the packages on demand from a >> Tier 1 mirror (and let nginx cache them).

Re: [arch-mirrors] archlinux.mirror.digitalpacific.com.au IP change / tier1 query.

Hi team, archlinux.mirror.digitalpacific.com.au has been migrated to a new server, and the link speed has been bumped to 20Gbps. If there are any ACLs which need updating, then please add our new IPs: 101.0.120.90 2401:fc00:0:201::4 Also, just as a question on the side.. we've been a Tier2 mirror in Australia for quite a long time (since 2015) -- https://www.archlinux.org/mirrors/digitalpacific.com.au/ ..can you please advise on what the procedure is on becoming a Tier1 mirror for AU? At this point, there's only two other Tier 1 mirrors in AU. Thanks! Regards, Matthew.
