We have this: http://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/How_to_setup_a_Alpine_Linux_mirror The freebsd howto: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/hubs/mirror-howto.html The NetBSD mirror FAQ: http://www.netbsd.org/docs/mirror.html Things that our howto does not yet cover and that might be a good idea to get written down: * What is required to become an official mirror? - how much disk space is needed? - how much bandwidth is required? - Who to contact for setting it up? - How to set up the contact info (so Alpine Linux team can reach the mirror sysadmin) - How are outages announced? I think it might be a good idea to have a record some place with private contact info (so we can contact the mirror admin), and location so people can see where its located. > 2. Does anyone how much traffic are current mirrors are getting? I do not have any overview of that. sorry. I suppose it Should be possible to fish out stats from some of the mirrors. While here... How about official bittorent seeders for iso images? There are various trackers we could use (linuxtracker.org for example) and it is trivial to set up our own tracker. What might need a bit more work is set up automatic seeding whenever a new iso image is uploaded and publish it automatically some how. I am pretty sure it is possible with transmission-daemon/transmission-cli. Thanks! -nc --- Unsubscribe: alpine-devel+unsubscribe@lists.alpinelinux.org Help: alpine-devel+help@lists.alpinelinux.org ---
