<!--T:1-->
If you want to set up a mirror of OpenVZ downloads, here's how.
== Requirements ==<!--T:2-->
<!--T:3-->
{{Warning|Please do NOT set up public OpenVZ mirror if:
* you don't have enough resources (disk space, bandwidth, admin staff);
<!--T:4-->* The mirrored contents content should be available through HTTP and FTP; both are optional but of course at least one should be there. In addition, you might provide rsync access — this is highly optional.
<!--T:5-->
* Your http/ftp servers should return correct status for non-existent files (HTTP 404, FTP 550).
<!--T:6-->
* Your mirror should be updated on a regular basis; 1 hour period is recommended.
<!--T:7-->* Your You should have some monitoring in place to check that your mirror is** up to date and working properly and serving the files using all the protocols it supports** updated periodically
<!--T:8-->
If you can not set up a system conforming to the above requirements — please don't attempt it.
== Setting up the mirroring process ==<!--T:9--> <!--T:10-->To initially mirror the contents, run:
<!--T:12-->
Next step is to add the cron job to run the same rsync command regularly. It is suggested to do that at least hourly.
== Setting up an access to your mirror ==<!--T:13-->
<!--T:14-->
When you are ready to open up your mirror, set up HTTP/FTP access to it. Preferrably, the mirror should be available at <tt><nowiki>http://openvz.yoursite.com/</nowiki></tt> or <tt><nowiki>http://mirrors.yoursite.com/openvz/</nowiki></tt> (same with ftp).
== Announcing your mirror ==<!--T:15-->
<!--T:16-->
Final step is to announce the mirror. There are two options:
<!--T:17-->* send a pull request to [https://src.openvz.org/projects/OVZ/repos/openvz-mirrors/browse openvz-mirrors] repository and add sergeybvvs@ as reviewer (preferred way)
* send an email to [mailto:mirrors@openvz.org mirrors@openvz.org]
<!--T:18-->
Announce should contain at least the following information (see [https://src.openvz.org/projects/OVZ/repos/openvz-mirrors/commits/c85b848e76c35b216ef157cbc6d1eb823a596d7e example of announce]):
<!--T:19-->
* '''Site:''' - website address. Example: hosteurope.de.
* Direct links to OpenVZ files on your mirror (http, ftp, rsync). Example:
* '''Sponsor''' - name of your organization
* '''IPv6''' - IPv6 support for your mirror (yes, no).
* '''Comment''' - additional information, like bandwidth, update frequency etc. Example: 1GB connection, updated dailyhourly.* '''Master site''' - currently we have two master sites: [https://download.openvz.org download.openvz.org] (USA) and [https://eu.download.openvz.org eu.download.openvz.org] (Switzerland, Europe). Please setup mirroring from nearest OpenVZ master siteand specify it in this field. <!--T:20-->Example of information about new mirror: <!--T:21-->Site: eu.download.openvz.org Type: Master OVZ-https: eu.download.openvz.org/ OVZ-ftp: eu.download.openvz.org/ OVZ-rsync: eu.download.openvz.org/openvz-download/ Maintainer: Sergey Bronnikov <sergeyb@openvz.org> Country: ch Location: Sponsor: Virtuozzo IPv6: yes Comment: Master site State: Enabled
== Some stats ==<!--T:22-->
<!--T:23-->OpenVZ download site is about 103 Gb now (as of Aug 2015), so your mirror will need at least the same space. It is growing at about 3 1.5 GB per month.
<!--T:24-->
The traffic for download.openvz.org is about 3T to 15T per month; it should be much lower than that for your mirror.
