* <rsync://ftp.linux.ro/libreboot/> (linux.ro, Romania)
* <rsync://mirror.koddos.net/libreboot/> (koddos.net, Netherlands)
* <rsync://mirror-hk.koddos.net/libreboot/> (koddos.net, Hong Kong)
Are you running a mirror? Contact the libreboot project, and the link will be
added to this page!
You can make your rsync mirror available via your web server, and also configure
your *own* mirror to be accessible via rsync. There are many resources online
that show you how to set up an rsync server.
How to create your own rsync mirror:
Useful for mirroring Libreboot's entire set of release archives. You can put
an rsync command into crontab and pull the files into a directory on your
web server.
@ -92,30 +110,33 @@ Now you can run rsync, for instance:
rsync -avz --delete-after rsync://rsync.libreboot.org/mirrormirror/ /var/www/html/libreboot/
You might put this in an hourly crontab. For example:
crontab -e
Then in crontab, add this line and save/exit (hourly crontab):
0 * * * * rsync -avz --delete-after rsync://rsync.libreboot.org/mirrormirror/ /var/www/html/libreboot/
**It's extremely important to have the final forward slash (/) at the end of each path,
in the above rsync command. Otherwise, rsync will behave very strangely.**
**NOTE: `rsync.libreboot.org` is not directly accessible by the public, except
those whose IPs are whitelisted. For bandwidth reasons, the firewall running
on libreboot.org blocks incoming rsync requests, except by specific IPs.**
**If you wish to run an rsync mirror, sync from one of the third party mirrors
below and set up your mirror. You can then contact Leah Rowe, to have your IP
addresses whitelisted for rsync usage - if the IP addresses match DNS A/AAAA
records for your rsync host, this can be used. A script runs in an hourly
crontab on libreboot.org, that fetches the A/AAAA records of whitelisted
rsync mirrors, automatically adding rules permitting them to get through the
firewall.**
If you wish to regularly keep your rsync mirror updated, you can add it to a
crontab. This page tells you how to use crontab:
<https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/crontab.5.html>
