-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Official Mirror Application - Singapore, SG Date: Fri, 8 Jul 2016 10:56:23 +0800 From: Andrew Yong <m...@ndoo.sg> To: mirr...@debian.org Hi Debian mirror admins, My mirror at rsync/ftp/http://mirror.0x.sg/debian/ (and debian-backports, debian-cd) of all architectures has been serving Debian for several years now, and I have an excess of bandwidth that I believe would be a great addition to the official country mirrors pool, especially factoring in that Southeast Asia is generally lacking in reliable, high-speed mirrors available over more than just HTTP. Criteria met: Yes - The mirror should be registered (using our mirror submission form). Yes - The site should be reliable and be up 24 hours a day. The machine should not be heavily loaded. Yes, 10Gbps symmetric local loop and majority NTT advertised prefixes - It should have a decent connectivity (relative to the respective country). Bandwidth equivalent to a 100Mbps connection or better is preferred; note that for developed countries, this minimum is much higher. Yes - The routers in front of the server shouldn't have any global access bans or major limitations of bandwidth. Yes, not limited except automatic abuse blacklisting - The server needs to be able to sustain the traffic, i.e. have reasonable limits on the HTTP, FTP and rsync daemons, including tuning the maximum number of connections in general and the maximum number of connections from a single IP. Yes, at least 20% free space out of a 36TB volume -Disk space commitments (with room for expansion) — see the mirror size page. Yes - The whole Debian archive should be mirrored. Yes - The mirror hierarchy should be available under /debian. Rationale: for consistency between sites — you may simply place a symlink if you want to keep the mirror somewhere else, or set up a virtual host. The mirror should be made available at least via these protocols: Yes - HTTP (http://mirror.0x.sg/debian/) HTTP is used because with HTTP/1.1 transfers have the potential of being more efficient than with FTP. Yes - FTP (ftp://mirror.0x.sg/debian/) FTP is the most senior protocol, and still very widely used. Yes - rsync (rsync://mirror.0x.sg::debian/) Rsync is the preferred method of mirroring, and one of the main functions of an official mirror is to help the proliferation of secondary mirrors. Yes - The mirror should be updated with ftpsync, a script which provides many required functions. This can be arranged - please assist to provide a contact, preferably CUHK push over IPv6 - Push mirroring needs to be set up; feel free to contact us to get in touch with the maintainer of another mirror.
