Mirroring the FTP site

-

Our mirror sites are provided to us on a voluntary basis by various supporters around the world. We -welcome new mirrors to the network all the time, but are particularly keen to add them for countries -with few, or no existing sites. We expect all of our mirrors to provide open access to any user from -any location.

- -

Note: We currently have a large number of mirror sites and are only accepting new ones in countries -with less than two mirrors in our database. Please do not ask to join the network if you see more than -one flag for your country on the mirror -selection page.

- -

In order to mirror the FTP site, you may use any FTP daemon, and store the content anywhere within your FTP hierarchy. While not required, we prefer that you also provide HTTP access to the files for those users that are behind firewalls that don't work well with FTP.

- -

In order to begin mirroring the site, please email the following details of your server to -webmaster at postgresql.org. The details will be added to -the mirror system, and rsync access granted automatically, normally within 24 hours.

- - - -

As of 2007-03-01, the FTP site requires around 7GB of disk space.

- -

What's next?

- -

Once your details have been recorded, you will be sent an email informing you of the hostname(s) you have been -assigned (which you may need to include it in the appropriate places in your server configuration), and how -to synchronise the content with our distribution server using rsync.

- -

A mirror tracker script runs on one of our servers on a daily basis. As soon as it finds up to date content -on your mirror, it will allow DNS records to be created. Once they are in place, your mirror will be automatically -added to the list on the PostgreSQL website. The tracker will continue to monitor your mirror on a daily basis. If -your content becomes out of date, the listing will be removed from the PostgreSQL website. Should it stay out of -date, or other errors are detected, you will be sent a warning email describing the problem following the third and -fifteenth errors detected in a row. If the error count reaches thirty, your mirror will be permanently deleted and -will need to be re-registered if you wish to continue to host it.

- -

So that's it! If you have any further questions about the PostgreSQL mirror network, or wish to join please email -webmaster at postgresql.org.
