it’s a dedicated CentOS7 vm on a NodeWeaver (HCI based on OpenNebula) running on OVH dedicated server. I put no limitations on the bandwidth so it can go up to 1 Gbps. If it gets too busy I’ll eventually ll resize the maximum bandwidth, but I don’t think that’s an issue.

hi @giacomo, I just noticed that the mirror I put in place looks like “4 days old” in the mirmon dashboard.

I’ve fixed the cron.d entry now… got a missed space in it. hope now will do fine.

No problem at all, I will monitor it for a couple of days then add it to the list.

I really like the idea, let me know when we need to starting working on this :wink:

Hello,

I setup a Nethserver mirror on a Nethserver.

http://mrmarkuz.goip.de/mirror/

I hope 10Mbps are enough…maybe we use it for the slow updates :joy:

Used the virtualhost conf of @giacomo and added an Alias /mirror because I got a 403 forbidden when trying to connect to / directly:

<VirtualHost *:80>
Alias /mirror "/var/www/repos"
ServerName mrmarkuz.goip.de
...

EDIT:

I had to erase the <VirtualHost …> lines because it deactivated the rewriting to https which caused errors in some webapps when using http.

Alias /mirror "/var/www/repos"
DocumentRoot "/var/www/repos"
<Directory /var/www/repos>
    Options +Indexes
    Options +FollowSymLinks
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Thank you for your kind donation. Let’s monitor it for a while, then your mirror will be added to the pool

Hello again,

I managed to make another mirror out of a cheap webhost without possibility of configuring httpd, ssh and rsync.
The dates of the dirs are the actual ones and I can’t use symlinks as I am syncing via FTP, what doubles the size(NS repo usually has 3GB, on my webhost 6GB).
What I did:
Via FTP I created a “/webpages/mywebpage/mirror” directory, set rights to 755 and put a .htaccess file into it.

Options +Indexes
Options +FollowSymLinks

I fetched the repo via rsync as described in 1st post and I synced it to my webhost via FTP with lftp:

lftp -u FTPUSER,FTPPASS FTPSERVER -e "set ftp:ssl-allow no; mirror -RL /var/www/repos /; chmod -R g+r /; quit"

Iftp was not able to change the rights of uploaded files during transfer so I did it afterwards with chmod. My fallback Raspberry NS mirror does the ftp sync at the moment via a cron job.

If this dirty configured webhost mirror works correctly and it seems to, then we have a new mirror with SSL:
