How to make a Mirror of Elive
ISOs Mirror
If you have a server and what to be a mirror of the Elive ISOs, you are more than welcome!
Requeriments
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
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 :)
When you have all this ready, just send an email to Thanatermesis with the details
Space and Bandwith
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
The 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 :)
Repository Mirror
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)
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.
Actually we have these two ones:
- US - (Los Angeles): By the Elive Servers
- Europe - (France): By Icedslash
