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
