Request for Sponsored VMs to Maintain Arch Linux Geomirrors
by Leonidas Spyropoulos 08 Feb '25

08 Feb '25

Hello, As you may be aware, the Arch Linux DevOps team maintains a Tier 1 (T1) geomirror in major geographical regions [0]. These are sponsored physical servers or virtual machines (VMs) that are fully managed by the DevOps team. In addition to serving as a T1 mirror, the geomirror hosts the Arch Linux archive - essential for reproducible builds and rolling back to previous released packages - in the Americas, Europe, and Asia. Furthermore, it provides static endpoints for container images, VM images, libvirt, and WSL images (planned). However, with the sunsetting of Equinix Metal's free tier [1] and the loss of our only contact for the Kape-sponsored servers, these mirrors are now on borrowed time. This email is a request for sponsored VMs to allow the DevOps team to continue maintaining the geomirror infrastructure. Below are the requirements for a sponsored server: - Full root access for DevOps, managed via Ansible and preferable the VM should run Arch Linux - Compliance with the requirements for a T1 mirror as described in the Arch Linux wiki [2] - Really prefer a 1G/s upload _and_ download bandwidth - Expected traffic details are documented in a related GitLab issue [3] We greatly appreciate any volunteers willing to support this effort and look forward to hearing from you.
