Debian mirrors

[Irdiism]

I am researching on hosting a Debian mirror and ill document here what i find.

Info from Debian documentation: 1. https://www.debian.org/mirror/ftpmirror

" Is a mirror necessary at my location? Maybe there are already mirrors nearby.
Do I have the resources to host a mirror? Mirrors take up considerable disk space and bandwidth, one has to be able to commit to the cost.
Is a mirror the right choice? If you primarily want to support users at your ISP/facility, then maybe a caching proxy such as apt-cacher-ng, squid, or varnish might be the better choice. '

Also found:

Apt-caccher NG: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Apt-Cacher%20NG
Varnish : https://varnish-cache.org/intro/index.html#intro

@Klesti8701 @kominoshja i am not sure what i am looking for to be honest.

This is pretty handy thanks

While having something like apt-cacher-ng is cool because it's less maintenance, doing so would only allow people with access to the physical hackerspace use our service, which wouldn't help the broader community of Linux in Albania.

Although I'm not sure on the bandwidth requirements, that'll need its own research.

The link you provided is great for getting started. I'd recommend you familiarize yourself with the mirroring tools mentioned further below, where it tells you to not use your own script. If you need, we can setup a test vm, very similar to the final one that'll be a live mirror

Today we created a VM in proxmox and installed Debian. We gave it 1400 GiB of disk space in order to host the debian mirror.
