Setting up an Emdebian Mirror

Get the scripts

For setting up a mirror, especially a push-triggered mirror, it's probably the easiest to use ftpsync. Refer to http://www.debian.org/mirror/ftpmirror.en.html#how for getting the scriptset.

Setup the scripts

Generally, you can follow the instructions in the README, with some minor modifications:

no-port-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding,no-pty,command="~/bin/ftpsync",from="IPADDRESS"

Obtain the correct key

http://www.emdebian.org/~archvsync/pushmirror.pub

This is the key which the Emdebian server will use to push files.

Sizes

The full Emdebian mirror is ~79Gb, so allow 90-100Gb.

Starting the push

You need to ask on the debian-embedded@lists.debian.org mailing list to be added to the push. To do that, you need to supply the shortname and server name of the mirror:

e.g. hands debian.hands.com
