CLFS FTP Mirroring

Go back to mirrors page

How do I do it?

To host the CLFS FTP repo in your ftp mirror, you will need the following:

• FTP Server setup for anonymous FTP
• 800MB free disk space
• (Recommended) the anonymous ftp path being /pub/clfs, so our mirrors are consistent
• (Optionally) sendmail for emailing rsync notifications to yourself

The script to rsync the files is located below. You are welcome to edit it to your needs. Once you have this setup and rsyncing, please contact Justin Knierim at admin@… with the following info:

• URL
• Connection Speed
• Location (City, Country, or other location indicator)
• Contact Information (Name, Email Address)

The Rsync Script

#!/bin/sh
# This script rsyncs a directory with a server and will log and mail the
# output to a user.
# Parameters are needed in this order:

NAME="CLFS FTP Archive"
SITE=rsync.osuosl.org
MODULE=clfs
LOG=/var/log/clfs_rsync
LOCAL=/local/path/                              # Edit this line
USER=your@email.address                         # Edit this line
MAILER=/usr/sbin/sendmail                       # Edit this line, if necessary

OUTPUT=`rsync -lprtz --delete ${SITE}::${MODULE} ${LOCAL} 2>&1`

if [ $? = 0 ] ; then
    echo -e "Subject: rsync of ${NAME} OK\n" |${MAILER} ${USER};
    echo "Rsync of ${NAME} succeeded on" `date` >> ${LOG}
else
    (echo -e "Subject: rsync of ${NAME} FAILED\n"; echo -e "${OUTPUT}") |${MAILER} ${USER};
    echo "Rsync of ${NAME} failed on" `date` >> ${LOG};
    echo -e "${OUTPUT}" >> ${LOG}
fi
