    11= How to make a Mirror of Elive =
    22== ISOs Mirror ==
    3 If you have a server and what to be a mirror of the Elive ISOs, you are more than welcome!

    55=== Requeriments ===
    6 The syncronization of the ISOs like the repository is made by rsync+ssh, this means, that is just required a '''ssh''' login access, and to have '''rsync''' installed

    8 It is also required of course to have a subdomain created that points to a specific dir (this dir is your choice), like ''http://elive.yourdomain.com'' or ''http://elive.isos.yourdomain.com'', it is not really important which names or directories to choice, just to have them ready :)

    1212=== Space and Bandwith ===
    1313
    14 We don't have really numbers, but just think that if you don't have one of these ''supa-nice-bandwith'' that you will never use that much, just forget the idea. There's a lot of downloads of the ISOs, but of course are not a scary number, actually the max. bandwith used for ''icedslash'' in a month was '''150 gb'''

There are many downloads of the ISOs. Don not be scared, the max. bandwidth used for ''icedslash'' in a month was '''150 gb'''
    1515
    1616The size needed to store the ISOs will vary, actually was never been more than 5gb of storage (think about some isos in a directory), but if the limit is set to 10gb could be nice :)
     
    1818== Repository Mirror ==
    1919
    20 There you will need a lot more of space, the repository size is 50 gb aprox. If you own a very good hosting with very good speed and very good bandwith, you will be able to mirror the repository too :). The '''only real requeriment''' of this is that you will own a long-time hosting, because we don't want to have in the future a broken repository that will not work anymore on your ''sources.list'' (in any case, should be fixed by changing the DNS)

    22 The special requeriment of this is that you will be able to add a subdomain of a domain that you don't own, for example ''asia.repository.elive-systems.com'', you don't own the domain ''elive-systems.com'' but your mirror needs to accept this address in order to understand the redirect from the real domain.
