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.
Do you use it? :)
I dont understand spanish thou, but it would be nice to get in touch with the developer(s)
@selea No, I don't use it but it is a distro created in Venezuela with a lot of effort.
@selea
https://getkiss.org! KISS Linux would love some love :)
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. ๐๐ผ
New mirror is at https://mirror.linux.pizza/debian-fasttrack/
@selea nope. Curiosity: any reason Gentoo isnโt 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 donโt 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 ๐๐๐๐
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 donโt use any of these, but:
NixOS - has a really cool update model
Lunar Linux - Source-based distro; not sure if itโs 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."
