Does anyone know any #linux #distro that is in need of #mirroring ?
I do mirror the popular ones already at https://mirror.linux.pizza/ but I am looking into helping out smaller #distros that does not have the money or capacity to spend on bandwith.
Awesome, I've sent dylan a email :)
@selea You da real MVP sir !
Thanks :) I am just doing my part with what I can. I wish I could do some code thou
@praveen @selea @kannan @bady @subins2000 @ranjithsiji yeah. We wish keralinux.com be there. Iso is now at mirror.keralinux.com
Are you guys behind Keralinux?
If so, would it be possible for you to set up an rsync mirror so I can sync the images (and possibly packages) down?
@selea
Are you interested to also mirror unofficial repositories? If yes, we'd like you to mirror http://fasttrack.debian.net it is for packages that change so fast that it cannot be supported in normal Debian releases. We started it to support gitlab package in #debian.
Yes! That would be cool!
I am unable to see if it support rsync thou, that is the preferred method to sync the repos.
Would it be possible to enable rsync for it?
meanwhile, I'll join the matrix room :)
@selea
We don't have rsync yet. @akhilvarkey can we setup rsync for the repo?
@praveen
This is done.
Thank you @selea for hosting this. ππΌ
New mirror is at https://mirror.linux.pizza/debian-fasttrack/
@selea nope. Curiosity: any reason Gentoo isnβt mirrored?
I have not thought about it, I will check that out and see if it is needed
@selea Gentoo is, in theory, my favorite distribution. I donβt use though xD
@selea Maybe #endeavouros ? It is the continuation of antergos and I think they will apriciate the mirroring, if you want to ask @EndeavourOS
@selea just saw in their telegram channel that you already added them ππππ
Yes!
It is only .iso's at the moment, but packages will be avaliable soon too :)
They dont have that many mirrors at the moment, looks like a nice project to help out!
@selea VoidLinux would be a great candidate. I use it since years. https://voidlinux.org/
I remember that I asked them in a mailing list last year, but I did not get an answer. :)
@selea I don't remember exactly when but they had some problems with a maintainer who left and took all the keys. Maybe you messaged them in the middle of the aftermath?
problably :) I'll ask them again :
I donβt use any of these, but:
NixOS - has a really cool update model
Lunar Linux - Source-based distro; not sure if itβs still active
Puppy Linux - small, pre-built images
I have asked Puppy Linux in the past, but there was no interest from their side unfortunately
Already do :) and it is an official Mirror too
@selea Just mirrror them all. There must be 2000 linux distros by now. :)
@selea Gentoo? I was also about to start mirroring Calculate Linux (binary-based Gentoo) but I haven't gotten started yet.
I think that Gentoos mirror is quite big? I wonder if I have room for it :P
oh! I really like the fact that Calculate Linux have their own Mastodon, Peertube and Pixelfed instance!
@selea The source mirror requires 550 GiB but the rsync mirror only requires about 2 GiB (as of 2016, so probably double that lol). I'm definitely going to check out Calculate's other accounts though, didn't realize they had those!
@selea Fedora and/or openSUSE!
@selea
maybe this:
"Setting up a Tails BitTorrent or HTTPS mirror helps Tails users downloading it faster and more reliably."

@selea I'd love to have #blackarch there. The average downspeed I get from them is like 4MB/s and that's way to slow
I guess you have tried changing the mirrors?
@selea yeah, the best mirror has like an average 6
@selea I'd like to suggest https://archlinuxarm.org/ which I run on my RPi with great success. No idea if they are in need of more mirrors tho :)
@selea this powered my crappy eeepc 900 back in the day, so I still have a weak spot for it: https://www.bunsenlabs.org/
Yeah I used crunchbang back on my EEEpc too :D
Sadly, Bunsenlabs seems to have died - no updates for a while :(
@selea hehe awesome. Yeah it seems they didn't do any updates in a while. Too bad.
But regolith-linux sure does look nice!!
@selea Yeah it does! haven't tried it yet, I have to admit. But I'm not really an i3 user atm anyway. It's on the list for a rainy day haha.
@selea @metabever looks like 4 days after your post they finally released Lithium (Debian 10 based)
@selea Oh , hi! I think Porteus (https://porteus.org) would need more mirrors but you'd have to contact the developer(s) of the project. It is a live distro based on Slackware.
I actually tried out Porteus for the first time yesterday!
I was looking for a kiosks distro that can just run a browser in kiosk mode with basic "monitoring"
Sadly, they seems to have issued the wrong certificate to the site :P
@selea They offer a Kiosk variant too but I do not remember where it is... 
@selea
https://getkiss.org! KISS Linux would love some love :)
