 The synchronization of the ISO repository is automatically managed using rsync+ssh. So we simply need an '''ssh login''' access and having '''rsync''' installed.

 In the future, if you need to disable your mirror in the future you can do it by disabling/remove the subdomain access (not being able to connect to it, giving a 404 error), our future website will detect it and ignore the mirror from its list.

 It is basically needed a ssh login and rsync installed, but if you can, please directly the public ssh key (ssh login will be made with the ssh key, not directly with password), the public key that you need to add in .ssh/authorized_keys is:

-We don't have actual download numbers, but keep in mind that if you don't have one of these ''supa-nice-bandwidth'' that you will never use that much, just forget the idea. There are many downloads of the ISOs. Do not be scared, the max. bandwidth used for ''icedslash'' in a month was '''150 gb'''

 The size needed to store the ISOs will vary, though it has never been more than 5gb (think about some isos in a directory), but if the limit is set to 10gb that would be nice :)

-There you will need a lot more storage space. The repository is approx. 50 gb. If you have a very good host with very good speed and very good bandwith you will be able to mirror the repository too :). The only '''real requirement''' of this is that you maintain a long-time host. We do not want to have to change the 'sources.list' in the future due to a broken repository that will not connect anymore (in any case, it could be fixed by changing the DNS)
+There you will need a lot more storage space. The size needed is approx. 100 gb for containing all the possible packages. The only requirement for this is that you are not using a ''temporal'' hosting but maintaining a long-time host, in order to not edit the dns redirections all the time.
 
-The special requirement 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.
+The special requirement of this is that you will be able to add a subdomain of a domain that you don't own, for example ''yourname.asia.repository.elivecd.org'', in fact you don't own the domain ''elivecd.org'' but your mirror needs to accept this address in order to understand the redirection from the real domain.
 
-Actually we have these two ones:
- * US - (Los Angeles): By the Elive Servers
- * Europe - (France): By Icedslash
+The created domain needs to point to a directory in the home of the new created user for this purpose, where we will sync the repositories automatically when its needed, we need the same ssh setup as explained in the '''Mirror of isos''' previous section.
